Last weekend was full on with filming both Saturday and Sunday - plus of several days of preparation beforehand in getting everything together and organising locations and times. After a long search we found our leading lady. Lida is perfect for the role: she combines a vulnerability and gentleness which is needed in the movie and yet behind it all we can see the strength of character which is there when it is needed. On this first day of shooting among us she gave an outstanding performance which looks simply marvellous on film! We filmed up in Kifissia in a large private apartment and hired in equipment for the day: monitors, tripods, lights and sound plus seemingly miles of cables and tape to hold everything down.
There were 3 main scenes filming and they all involved Lida who is playing the lead female - Maria Polemis. Throughout the course of the day she went from sophisticated businesswoman to a wreck on the floor. But all for the sake of Art!

Lining up a shot. These days directors don't look in the camera; they use monitors which feed directly from the camera and are a much better indicator of what is actually going to end up on screen or not. Trauma The trauma arrived at the end of Saturday. Without giving too much away Lida was suitably wrecked and looked perfect. It all continued, as well, into Sunday when we shot further scenes of trauma with plenty of extreme make-up for added fun! |
