DEVIOUS - TIME
Time is our limiting factor! And money perhaps - though not our imagination!
The story was written by David and Ashley without filming considerations
in mind. We didn't want to compromise the storyline with what was possible
- rather we were concerned that the story worked. In hindsight, with the
advent of computer effects and editing etc we are glad this was the decision
we took - since we are now able to use these computer effects to tell parts
of the story that would have seemed impossible - like the space scenes
for example!
As Amateurs, we only work on occasional weekends and evenings. We generally
meet during the week to work on the script (we believe in altering it right
up until filming!), and we generally film at a weekend. Whether it is in
a set or on location, we only seem to film a few times during the year!
We are all busy individuals, and have full and interesting (??) lives outside
of this project, which is why we have been on this project for about 5
years (!!!!!) Still, we believe the final thing will be worth it (we hope!).
Even the few times a year (lately) we do get to film, we have had to spend
many weeks in preparation. Sets and props all need construction, as does
the script, and the actors need rehearsal!
