So that's the end of a frantic 48 hours of film making. We were lucky enough (?!?!?!?) to pull out "historical fiction" for our genre which was always going to be a challenge, especially considering the other things we were required to include.

Prop: A compact disk.

Line of Dialogue: Is that the best you've got?

Character: Robert or Roberta Darling (a restaurateur)

Having received all these details at 7pm on Friday night, we finished the script around 2.30am on the Saturday. After a wee kip, we were back up at 6.45am to begin filming at the Edinburgh Farmer's market where I played the meat stall owner. When then filmed in a pub in the Grassmarket, the Burke and Hare lap dancing club and in the Royal Mile before going for an afternoon snooze. Between 10.30pm and Sunday 1am, we were filming in ye olde streets of Edinburgh and in a cemetery where I was a ye olde policeman chasing Burke and Hare the grave robbers ... it's an interesting short film.

If you'd like to see it, it's being shown at the Cameo Cinema in Edinburgh tomorrow night.
