Production: Ink (Wednesday 17th May)

We had The Workstation booked to film the ink in water sequence, this location was best because there was a sink which meant that we had easy access to water with out the extra worry of the box not fitting in the sink etc.

The only negative and potentially dangerous thing was that the box had a leak and we were working with three point lighting. I had a stack of paper towels on hand to periodically mod up any leakage before it left the table and got anywhere on the floor. This was easier for me to do as I was handling pouring the ink into the water as Luke worked on the lighting and the camera placement.

We filmed in both a normal and higher frame rate, as well as using a microscopic lens so that the shots could be tighter. We also had a range of food colouring colours; 

Which all depending on the order added to the water created a new effect each time. The only tricky thing was that each colour had its own consistence  Some would plunge straight to the bottom and others would float at the top and sink slowly and gracefully to the bottom of the tank. 

We captured a lot of varied footage, the majority of which seemed usable to me which is a good thing as it meant we could tick this off of our list and focus on the next task.
