In New Plymouth: main st cafe, foreshore, kids playground, residential st at night, car driving, party at flat (crashed a real party with a pile of release forms) funny when we turned the music off and told everyone to pretend to party without making any noise... Hard when they had all had a fair few :) (it was 2am sat morning).

entered in auckland... shot on a couple of farms outside of huntly... bit of a journey but worth it for the free art department... did pickups in the backyard, in the garage and at the park shooting low angle...

- Auckland Domain (saw a couple of other 48 teams filming there, very popular location. one had a big carboard robot.)
- Old abandoned railyard in Parnell I had no idea existed till one of our team members suggested it
- Clothing warehouse belonging to family of a team member
- Couple of team member houses (I swear someone who's watched all our 48 entries could probably draw a floor plan of my house by now)
- Underwater in my pool!

We shot in an office. You know, our one room... *sigh* (also a couple of establishing shots outside said office)

dance studio (guess what genre we got, thankfully the producer is a dance teacher and owns her own studio)
Victoria Uni
alleyway behind state opera house
park off Bond st (with an awesome breakdancing crew)

:O)

We shot primarily in devonport, where I'd been only once before (lived in Auckland 4 years, way to go). It was beautiful, an awesome location. we shot in a kindergarten there, as well as a converted villa/office, and generally on the pier/beach. Pretty stoked considering we were super lazy with presourcing locations this gear and wrangled everything on the day.

Just got back from the first few heats in Auckland. Three teams in one heat used the same bridge. Where is that bridge? It's a cool bridge. And there was an even cooler bridge in a film in the 3rd heat. Ultimately what I'm saying is that some teams used cool bridges.

Remember: what the camera sees the audience believes.
Peter Jackson once filmed a jungle scene on a tree covered roundabout and sold it as deep in the heart of the west coast bush.

Clever thinking saves time in the 48s

We shot on a farm and the beach beside it,

In Auckland, shot on playground at bottom of Mt Eden, saw another V48 group walk past while filming on the Saturday, SO AWKWARD, exchanged stares.

I bet a lot of people shot in a playground.
As for us;

Playground in Mt Albert Primary
Abandoned Railyard in Parnell
Backstreets in Te Atatu
Under the harbour bridge on the north shore side (exceptional location)
Hospital exterior in Henderson
Van interiors

..was the most expansive shoot we've ever undertaken.
Didn't see any other teams all day, did chase away one looney old bag who wanted a piece of the action pie.

Hagley Park and the backyard of my flat.
