A variety of behind the scenes photos and stills by David Birkett. Comments by Mark Lovegrove.
Would you trust Simon to drive?
We did! With little experience behind the wheel Simon bravely chose to drive the car away
himself in the final scene. When the car first enters in the film, we tried giving the three
main actors a chance to drive - however some of their skills were left to be desired, so we
left the rest up to our experienced drivers! A later cut has put Nellie back in the drivers seat.
Don't leave me alone out here!
And especially not with director Mark Lovegrove! Here we see Mark Grafton acting for a scene
where Becker discovers the mysterious pentogram that controls the ghosts' power.
Left alone out here
Nellie takes a short break, after a break. She sprained her ankle running, but was persuaded to
continue for the next take! Either that or she likes the location a little too much!
A sense of direction
Mark Lovegrove and Simon Love enjoy a quick smoke break, but still make sure it looks like
they're doing something important.
Group photo
From the last day of filming the production - sadly C. Spence was absent, but the rest of the
motley crew from left to right are; David Birkett, Mark Lovegrove, Nellie Mitchell (hiding),
Mark Grafton, Marc Walton & Simon Loveridge. Max Coulton (not pictured but present) was only there for the start and
end of the day - his girlfriend took priority ;)
Dude, where's my car?
Capturing Nellie's good side - we knew another car was needed for the production but didn't
have a clue who's it would be, until a day before shooting. Here we can see Max (not looking)
and his Metro - with Simon squeezed inside!
Dude, where's my coat?
She didn't have a clue what she was talking about in her first scene, and wasn't awake when
we shot the last scene - but Nellie helped bring a refreshing new presence to bigphat films.
As hungover as she may have been, Nellie was a great help & we'd love to have her in more
productions in the future! Here she's dusty, cold & possibly not too happy? :p
Down at Foxhole Farm
The main location for the production - this small barn in Cholsey had been recommended by
several people as a hot-spot for doing some filming, and although it was originally going to
be used in Skanked Up - we decided to create a unique film based at this location.
We didn't get permission so we're greatful for getting the use of the location, & hope we kept it clean!
