day 9 - final shoot day
@architkrishna94 mentioned that our film probably doesn’t pass the Bechdel test, but if you go by the ai definition on google then it does, and chatgpt gave our script an 8/10, and tbh the machines have never had any reason to lie to us so we should all just go along

Day 8 - shot a few more fights and deaths
one really fun experience throughout the shoot is the parts written and shot on the fly. the most fun of these was Arran’s dance sequence, now a central plot point in the otherwise gritty drama that we hope the Ballad film will be
featuring mr cabbage as stunt double for @paresh_hate , @smriti_1095 as corpse 1 and @themocaineman as corpse 2

'meeting people is easy' (also a radiohead movie title) is a phrase that comes to mind every time we get to jam with new people
also, somebody please tell, is it still hashtags or square brackets, wtf is that about?
#mocaineisaband
varun is trying to write a part for a new mocaine song called adhd
amrit is trying to get a hang of colour grading (without stopping to be colourblind)
one of them is doing better than the other
