The basement floor hallway of Bridges house was slightly clogged up,
despite the "Femme Bots!” team’s best efforts. The six girls had lights
set up, chairs moved into the hallway, in order to film one of the major
shots in their film.
Half of the group was in costume for this scene, and all were serving
some purpose, whether it be in front of the camera, or behind it.
They seemed relaxed, trying different ways of acting the scene out,
getting a couple extra takes, just in case, and getting out of the way
of anybody who wished to get by in the hall. They would mess up a take,
then play it back with playful glee, before trying it once more.
Any
spectator would have never guessed that the six of them only had one day
to get all of their filming done.
In fact, the time spent on each scene was rigidly scheduled before
hand, so they could keep their goal of writing Friday night, filming
Saturday and editing Sunday, in order to bring the total time spent
making the film to 48 hours.
Fredericton’s fourth annual 48 Hour Film Competition invited filmmakers
from around the province to compete by making a short film in a single
weekend.
