We are glad to announce that the shoot of The Alpha Invention is complete! There should be some behind-the-scenes goodies coming soon which will demonstrate how professional, fun and absolutely awesome each member of the cast and crew was. We shot Monday through to Wednesday and finished ahead of schedule, which is a testament as to how hard and passionately each of these wonderful people worked.

There was a fair amount of laughter and stress, some department confusions (having a person called Art on set can have that effect) and plenty of dialogue! There was even an Alpha Invention cake (thank you Saff & Sam)!

Also present on set was an unofficial, unspoken of but universally recognised competition to see who could tweet the coolest photo which everyone had a fair chance of winning until Billy snuck this one in on the last day...

Yup, everyone else, go home.

Anyhow, this film couldn't have been brought into existence without the wonderful aforementioned cast and crew whose passion and pure hard work helped to get everything planned into the can! Thanks to you all. (some of whom weren't on set on photo day, thanks to you too!)

Swiftly, we move onto post, I started transcoding proxies yesterday actually. This phase will undoubtedly bring fresh new challenges of its own nature but the plus side is that it's equally as fun as you craft the movie and begin to see the animal it is meant to be. Stay tuned. MT

Yeah, so where have we been?

Well, we are getting very close to the shoot dates of The Alpha Invention and no matter how hard you try and do all the groundwork ahead of time there is always absolutely loads to do at the last minute. From the ordinary - organising crew availability, organising backups, arranging insurance and being on WhatsApp constantly so you can approve every bit of set design that Anna takes a photo of; to the more unusual - posting questions on Reddit and programmers' forums to find software that emulates code on a computer screen.


On Thursday night we went through the shoot from start to finish with all the Heads of Department at a very noisy pub in central London (that's what you get for having a meeting on the first day of the month). The purpose of this was to go through the shoot schedule and if one department had a issue/challenge/problem/flash or pure terror they were to say "We're doing WHAT?!" or something to that effect. We then would discuss how we can execute said "WHAT" without this department hating us for the rest of the shoot.

Needless to say, it went swimmingly and thankfully there were hardly any "WHAT"s from anyone. I even double-checked to make sure that this was indeed due to quiet confidence rather than Sam Smiths beverages.

So as the days draw nearer this blog should receive a big fat injection of activity and if we aren't too exhausted after each shoot day there might even be a production diary of sorts. For everything else, there's twitter...
