I never spoke of how shooting the promo for The Ghost Recordist went! I must say, the nerves hit me when we went out on the shoot, I had never produced anything like this before and I knew it was on my head if an actor didn't show up, or we forgot equipment, or the food sucked or anything at all, basically. A million things could have gone wrong, but they didn't, thankfully. I found that, once everything and everyone was on set, managing resources was much, much easier, and I felt much more at ease than the night before, and part of my job was to keep calm and be organised (or at least appear to be). I acted as a consultant to a stressed out Niall, a sort of stage hand for props and lights, a chef, a time-keeper, and comic relief. Oh, I also took lots of nice pictures.

All in all, I'm happy with our two days of shooting. The last scene of the first day took far longer than anticipated, Niall and I should have thought about that one more, but other than that, everything went like clockwork, we had everything we needed, and everyone was satisfied.
