Ok, I think the universe has it in for my movie.

For one of the scenes we have a short chase through woods.
I have a woody garden that is quite quiet so it makes for the ideal location for the shoot and we planned the scene for shooting yesterday evening.

Just as we get set up the neighbours music system starts up. They were having a party, so we hadto scrub the shoot.

Tonight we got everyone together to shoot it again.
1. Jet fighters circle overhead for about 10 minutes
2. Then about 5 chinooks (large helicopters) fly over (slowly) takes another 10 minutes.
3. Then a neigbour starts playing football against the wall (thud thud)
4. Then another neigbour starts horseriding in their field (whoop whoop whoop).
5. Finally (when its pretty much too dark to shoot) the wind picks up and the mic is full of white noise and can't pick up voices over the leaf rustle unless the mic is so close it's in the shot.
6. Apparently its going to rain for the next week.

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG

Just wanted to rant.

Still I have only one scene left to shoot, so its not too bad.
