Filming has taken its toll on the crew (adam and i) specially when its taking sometimes up to 12 hours just to get 400 hundred pictures. This can be either attributed to set disturbance or prepping time taking longer than anticipated. One of the hardest things about stop motion, is when you move your puppets/models you have to be sure your getting it right, because once you move them, you are committed to that move, if you want to go back and redo "a bit" you have to usually re-shoot the entire scene, as it is almost impossible to get the model/puppets back into exactly the same place as they were.
Another time saver, but not..is uploading and editing on the go, meaning less to upload on the start day of editing, but also some time saved. This was initially a good idea, however Final cut's ability to render at fast speeds(cough cough) meant there wasn't really much time saved, other than that of on the uploading of pictures, something i had to be very organised about, insuring all pictures went into the correctly labeled bins, making it easier to locate them, and put them in their correct order.
Working and living in a hot set is a nightmare, and the arrival of a kitten and two cats (cat sitting for a friend) has compromised the working environment, making it difficult to keep the set free of issues, such as camera/puppet, unwanted movements/disturbances.
