Kanowna rehearsals

It's been a mad couple of days for Kanowna, the short film.  The cast (Dustin Clare, Peta Sergeant and Clarke Richards), arrived in Perth yesterday and I could only manage an hour and a half to meet with them to talk script and other stuff.  It was fantastic to see them again and made everything seem really real.  It was also cool that Krisztian came along all the way from LA to join in the fun!
The production made good use of the time with costume fittings and makeup tests being organised for the day.  A few issues arose from the tests, with the biggest being the incorrect boots being chosen for the Troopers.  Michael and I really emphasised to Costume the importance of getting this correct.
Dev our DOP stayed at our place which was really good.  We could talk shots, plans, symbolism, anything we needed to chat about, which we hadn't had the time to.

Today was a full day of Kanowna rehearsals.  We made many new discoveries about the film and a few scenes were slightly adjusted to either ring more true or change the status of a character, to make the journey more of a undulating one, instead of a flat one.
During the day there were many challenges with boots, guns and props, but it seems everything was sorted out behind the scenes.  Our biggest challenge has been to get the baby confirmed.  In the end, we decided to use my daughter as Osarno and Brown's baby.
