FINAL DAY OF FILMING!!!

 Welcome back bloggers! In today's post, I will be talking about our fourth and final day of filming for our movie opener, "Super"-Hero! With the conclusion of our fourth day, which took place on February 2nd, we were FINALLY able to finish ALL filming for the movie, and this was without a doubt our STRONGEST day yet!

Shhh... You'll wake him up!

UNEXPECTED ROADBLOCK!

Going into the 4th filming day, we encountered an unexpected roadblock: After editing, our film was already pushing a minute long. Specifically, the robbery scene would have taken up at least 20 seconds of filming time, leaving us with nothing for Power-Man's scene and defeating the purpose of the character as a whole. With that in mind, we had to think of a new scene to put in place of the robbery AND film it within the same day! Luckily for us, our idea to make the Homeowner be asleep from the third day of filming gave us a GENIUS idea: Replace one old idea with another! Essentially, we were going to take our idea of knocking out the Homeowner, give it a facelift, and slap it in the place of the robbery! We did this by making 2 of the robbers discover the Homeowner sleeping, then having the robbers prepare to knock out the Homeowner, and finally Power-Man SWOOPING IN in the background. Major problem solved all within 3 hours. With 2 hours left, it was time to film the Power-Man confrontation, and boy was this harder than we ever thought possible...

FINISHING what we started!

Power-Man's confrontation was by far the hardest scene we filmed in the entire opening. This was because making a fake fight scene turned out to not be as simple as Power-Man missing a punch and a robber bonking him on the head! This single scene took FOREVER, since the action itself was always awkward in all the smallest ways to the point where at least one of us would have an issue with how the scene turned out. We tried several different ideas: Having Power-Man do a wind up punch and then getting bonked, different dialogue options, using a bat to knock him out instead of a hammer, using a CROWBAR to knock him out instead of a hammer, having Power-Man stumble over and fall without a single punch being thrown! Eventually, we settled on Power-Man beginning to throw a punch, but then start rapidly flapping his arms at the robber, leaving him in confusion. After that, the robber would simply bonk Power-Man once on the head with the hammer and he'd fall to the ground in defeat, with the robber still confused. This idea still took a solid 20 minutes to film properly, but in the end we FINALLY finished that scene, and since we filmed the robbers running out early, it meant that, after 4 days, we FINALLY FINISHED ALL FILMING FOR "Super"-Hero!!!
