Diary of the Damned part 2 - The Film Shoot

- Being an occasional production diary chronicling the run-up to Revenge of the Grand Guignol  -

As Theatre of the Damned are currently buried in rehearsals and admin alike, it was a pleasant change of pace to instead spend a day buried in Kent. Two of this year's plays contain a pre-filmed element, and one of these involved the carting of an actor out to Edenbridge, the hospitality of the extraordinarily generous and tolerant Gilbert family and the digging of a grave in a hillock of evil rocks and rubble. As usual with film shoots, the setup took all day and the resulting footage is probably less than 30 seconds. It's a vital 30 seconds, though, so it had to be just right.
