Today was a really odd day, one of the strangest of my life.

This week is the initial shoot for my film, "The Sacrament" and up till this morning, despite the fact we are shooting tomorrow, we didn't have any green screens. But this morning I went to pick up some green screen paint from the school's paint shop, and lunchtime we secured a van to transport some old theatre flats from the school to the studio. Around 3pm we started painting them and by 6pm they were done. That was amazing, and "The Skeleton Crew", Chris Sealey, Emily Key, Julia Chiavetta, Rebecca Moffatt, Felix Pickles Harvey and costume supervisor Haldis Gothard were all working hard to make this happen.

Several strange things though. The initial idea for this film came from a conversation between myself, my friend Matt Kelland and a guy called Chris Nuttall who apart from many cool jobs he does is Tim Burton's 5.1 sound guy. So get this: the green screen paint we got is leftovers from "Corpse Bride". Weird enough. But one of the flats we painted over was a scenic art project from a few years back of "Beetlejuice". Good omens, clearly, but very strange co-incidences as everything happened in isolation.

I feel the gods of cinema are with us, and just letting us know they are keeping an eye on us.
