Filming with our Female Lead!

Hey everyone! Guess what? We finally started filming with Olivia, our female lead! After all the scheduling hiccups, it feels amazing to get the cameras rolling.

Our first scenes with Olivia were the car ride sequences, which were super important for setting the film’s tone. Since we had already shot some background footage, we had to blend her performance into it seamlessly. She nailed it—bringing this quiet tension that made the whole scene feel alive.

Filming in a moving car? Yeah, not exactly a walk in the park. We captured close-ups of Olivia staring out the window, letting her emotions speak without dialogue. Over-the-shoulder shots from the backseat helped show her perspective, making everything feel more intimate.

Lighting was a huge challenge. Some shots ended up darker than expected, but we tweaked the camera settings and played with angles until we got it right. In post-production, we’ll enhance the lighting to bring out more details.

After the car scenes, we tackled the rooftop scene—easily one of the most stunning moments in the film. We found a perfect rooftop spot with the city skyline stretching behind Olivia, adding this breathtaking backdrop to her performance.

What we didn’t expect? The wind. It was way stronger than we thought, making it nearly impossible to capture clean audio. Despite that, the visuals turned out gorgeous, so I’d say it was worth the struggle.

Tomorrow, we’re diving into all the footage to start piecing things together. We’ll also figure out if we need any reshoots and prep for the next round of filming.

There’s still so much to do, but I’ll keep you all updated. Can’t wait to share more soon—stay tuned!
