00:00 Hello everyone and welcome back to the Sandcastles podcast. I'm here today with our directors
00:10 team. If you'd like to introduce yourselves. Hello, I'm second assistant director, Tathan.
00:15 Hi, I'm Rebecca White, first assistant director. I'm the main director, Matthew Humphries.
00:21 Thank you all for coming and meeting with me today. So I've just got a couple of questions
00:25 about how it's going so far. So first of all, how do you think you're working together as
00:30 a team? I think we've got quite a good dynamic going on. I don't know about you two, but
00:35 it's very effective. I mean, um, blocks don't match up entirely. Completely blocks to Rebecca.
00:42 Yeah. Matthew forgot Rebecca's name the other day. I did not. That's a mere myth. That's
00:48 a first time. So you're working around the blocks though. Like you able to yeah. Consistent
00:56 meetings and yeah. I feel like we're all on the same wavelength. When I'm discussing ideas,
01:01 everyone seems to agree. That's, that's what we want. Isn't it? We don't want to feel the
01:03 wrath of Matthew Humphries. So what do you think the best bit of the production has been
01:11 so far? What's your favorite? I think you might not agree everybody, but now cause you
01:20 two haven't started doing the shot listing, but I've started looking at cinematography.
01:23 I've talked about the opening scene, which is a secret. No one needs to know about that
01:28 yet, but I think shot listing is going to be my favorite part cause cinematography is
01:32 my favorite part of filmmaking. So Ethan, what do you, um, well it's early days, isn't
01:39 it? So I don't really have a favorite part of production cause it's only been about a
01:42 month. But, um, I think so far the whole, um, meeting the team as a whole and getting used
01:49 to everyone who I'm going to be working with for the next few months is quite fun. Exciting
01:53 isn't it, Ethan? Um, um, probably script editing cause of all the different ideas that we had
02:01 together, different perspectives of the script. There was a lot of energy in the script editing
02:05 room, wasn't there? Especially when I was there with my gavel, I was all in favor for
02:10 this shot. Yes, yes. There we go. And I think that's worked really well cause we've gotten
02:14 a really solid script and we've worked very hard to kind of get it to that point. So I
02:19 agree. I think that's been my favorite part so far. And my final question, how do you
02:24 think the filming process is going to go? The big, the big, it's going to be so incredibly
02:29 difficult I think because I was saying this the other day, but the way I want things is
02:34 to be very experimental, a wide range of different shots and also the opening sequence, which
02:40 nobody needs to know about yet, but it's going to be quite a technologically challenging.
02:45 So um, yeah, we'll see. We'll see how we get on. Uh, yeah, I agree with him, but I feel
02:51 like we're going to at some point overshoot the shooting schedule. I think even making
02:56 a schedule is quite ambitious considering the expertise we have on set and from top
03:02 to bottom, just everyone involved first time doing a big production. So I think it will
03:08 go longer than we think, but I don't think there'll be any big mishaps. No, I think as
03:13 long as we get it done within a reasonable margin of time. I run a tight ship don't I
03:17 Tathan? It'll be all be fine. We're all with an iron fist, don't ya? Oh yeah. Um, Rebecca?
03:24 Yeah? Anything, anything to add? Do you think it's going to be difficult? Do you think it's
03:28 going to be a smooth process? What do you think? Um, I don't want to jinx anything.
03:33 True. I think it'll be fine. Yeah. We're a solid team. The main thing, everybody, is
03:41 that we're going to have a lot of fun and then we're going to have a premiere with popcorn
03:45 machines and live music. So it's all, it's all brilliant, isn't it? Oh, we're going to
03:49 have a live band. Apparently so. Oh, that's a secret. Little teaser for you there. Yeah.
03:56 That's the tunes? Yeah.
