Beach Potato
10 August, 2012 4:05pmThis week's blog (one of our favourites so far) comes from the director of comedy short Beach Potato, where he gives a list of lessons he has learned while making his film, such as
- If you ever need to take a ferry across rough seas, always look to alternative transport. Failing that travel sickness medicine is a must.
- If you shout ‘Hello’ enough times from a cliff, someone will shout back.
- Crabs get stage fright. Have a few and try and use them as quickly as possible.
We love, love, love seeing your production shots so keep sending us your blogs and we'll pop them up here as quickly as we can!
