Day 4 Wednesday
Kyle offered his assistance and came over first things first, we assemble a gazebo as the weather looked very threatening, and just in time as it immediately started to rain as we finished. The opening and closing mechanism of the cowl had not been considered in too much depth and it was designed and constructed as we went along. The design relied upon the weight of each half to support the other as they ran on baton runners, with this in place the cowl construction was complete. Whilst I was reluctant to do so, I decided that the best way to secure the hopper to the weighted tea chest assembly was to drill through the base of it and to screw through into the top of the runner assembly attached to the tea chest support, this secured it safely without risk of toppling. I cut a hole in the bottom box to aid filling and weighting it quickly on set. We stripped and prepared the set dressings and the machine for pickup later that evening and stacked it all under the gazebo to keep it dry. Matty arrived in a van with his dad a little later. We all loaded it and Kyle and I followed the van in my car to Hartlepool. We unloaded it and delivered the set to the CCAD photographic studio to be ready for assembly first thing in the morning.
The cowl stayed at my house for me to take in the morning, through the night I covered the visible areas with lining paper to blend joins and colour match with the paper which will be attached behind conveyor legs.
I composed a shot list from my notes and adjusted the script before going to bed for an hour.
