I was a little nervous about exporting a mere 5 minutes before the deadline but our film was bound to be cutting it close after all the production problems. We didn't have time to check the disk or run a second copy if things had gone wrong so just crossed our fingers damn hard. the export was good quality so nothing went wrong, not only that but the on the spot laughs and reactions we got were great.
It was a little tense to screen a comedy as the reactions are all there for you to see but I think along with the music the acting and writing got a chance to really work its magic and the audience knew exactly when to laugh and knew exactly what they were watching.
The one response I am surprised with is that people like the performance of Nick, the market salesman and thought that Jim the magician could have been more eccentric. Whilst this is clearly an issue with rehearsing which we had no time for I am shocked that it was that way round. I thought the magicians performance may be too over the top when filming the scenes however they come across more refined on camera. Either way i'm very happy with the final piece, it got the reactions we expected and its not too poor in terms of grain however the camera work it one of the let downs, Night Shoots Are Hard!
