Tonight we are all meeting at Rowe's studios to discuss and work on the costume for the 'creature'. Over the past few months Amanda has been busy sourcing material and sewing together a cloak and hood. Ian has been helping to 'age' the material by using sand paper, a hard surface and a lot of elbow grease. The end results are fab. Photos to follow after tonight's meeting.

The film is taking shape although we have a long way to go and a huge amount of pre production jobs to tick off. We are still searching for locations and the script is being polished!

Exciting news - Neil has bought some new camera equipment and accessories. The testing of the equipment is proving fun. The new camera is far superior than the one we used for our first film. This one is 4k! 

Some test shoots to follow.
