The Day The Flat Burned Down

I was quite chuffed with the footage, but it needs more like a 10mm lens to really capture the wideness of the stairs. Or a real 18mm without the overscan. The mould effect is the real puzzler, though. So, we'd need two dogs and some bros, though we could always shoot the interior somewhere else. I'm open to submissions on how to crack that. James Dunlop reckoned that the narrator should be a character who walks through the flat, and I wrote a draft that put some of that, but still kept some voice-over as well. - Yeah, I figured out it might have been when I changed lenses that the dust got in, but it looks like Splendid were able to get the residue off. The 550D was a lot sturdier. Modern tech is all easily breakable, which doesn't suit someone like me that (now) is all jittery and easily freaked out. - The lightness is a plus, but I cheaped out on the tripod. I doubt that's up to the task.
