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...
