FILM FABRIK PRAHA: DAY TWENTY SEVEN
Last day of Film Fabrik 3.
Raphael is the first to leave early in the morning when some of us are still up from the party last night.
Then PH... then Andrea... and Sam... and Florent... and the rest will go later today or in a few days.
The lights in the movie theater are turning on. The film is finally over. The team that has shared so much and lived together so intensely for a month simply splits and everyone goes back to the "normal" course of their lives.
But if you just look back at the stories in this blog and imagine the ones that could not be put into words, you will know that Fim Fabrik 3 will live forever in the hearts of those who made it.
We can only hope that Film Fabrik 4 will come soon enough...

THE END
FILM FABRIK PRAHA: DAY TWENTY SIX
The end is near. Today is our last full day together...
But before we start cleaning and party hard one last time, the crew gets a very pleasant surprise in the morning: today a bird trainer comes at the Meetfactory.
The trainer brings 2 huge ravens with him. One is 6 years old, full of life, but still a bit wild and easily upset, the other is 28 years old and has a unique relationship with its trainer.
Armande, as the rest of us, is over excited.
After a few precautions to avoid scaring the birds to much, we shoot. The action is Marie walking in the corridor with a raven passing very close to her.
The first raven is so big that it scares Marie the first time it passes by her head. But the next takes are good and the shots are magnificent.
And they better be, because Marie was not the only one to come close to danger for them!
Sam gets attacked by the raven. His boom scares the bird apparently. Fortunately our soundguy comes back victorious from the fight with only very small bruises and a good story to tell his future grandchildren...
Now Armande's shooting is really over!
It's great, but it also means that FilmFabrik 3 is almost done...
In the afternoon we clean the Meetfactory, before preparing our last party.
It takes place at the local bar near the school. The garden is actually very nice and they have a big barbecue that we can use.
People drink, people laugh, people sing and play music, people make emotional speeches...
The team offers Veronika a small appreciation of their gratitude for all her work this past month. It's a replica of Andrea's set filled with tokens from the 5 movies.
People drink more, people laugh more, people sing more, people make more emotional speeches...
The festivities go along until the sun rises and that we must say goodbye once more...
