@tvaziri@Gte Absolutely agreed! I listened to this while out on my run yesterday. Generally, that podcast is a must-listen if you're interested in #FilmProduction.
Watch how the Ichi the Killer director was able to use the iPhone 15 Pro to turn a manga into a 19-minute short film.

Monday: 102 seconds of plank, 15 pushups, 10.4 km of #running (-6°C with a windchill of -12°C), picked up groceries, walked home, then did two #AppleFitness workouts.
I've been really struggling with my runs lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it's the addition of the extra workouts that should me making it easier to run.
Then again, it is Monday …
Which I suppose means it's practically Friday… and therefore almost Monday again. <sighs> 🤣
@moelholm@s1m0n4 I just came off a week of no running or anything beyond some light hiking when I was off up in Algonquin park. It's possible that maybe the long period of #FilmProduction hit me harder than I thought and haven't recovered from that yet. <sighs>
It would be so useful to be able to plug something in and get an instant diagnosis.
Tuesday: 87 seconds of plank, 10 pushups, followed by 14.6 km of #running (-7°C with a windchill of -12°C) around #Ottawa.
Hit day 80 of my #Duolingo streak of learning Japanese.
Was really annoyed that the Chief William Commanda Bridge is still closed. 🤷🏻 Run itself was pretty good, but I now have a weird feeling in my right knee. <sighs>
Had our first post-filming meeting (we took a two-week break to give us some time). So much to do. #FilmProduction
We finished the last b-roll shots yesterday, packed everything up and moved out of the creepy location that's been our home away from home for nearly a month. So many folks came out to help, it really was wonderful and makes us so very thankful.
Today, I'm exhausted and sore. Most of my gear is put away. Did some work, and I broke something minor by forgetting to escape a space in a shell script, so…
@TAV & I are going to play hooky and go see Dune 2 in theatre.
We wrapped principle photography last night! Got in a bit after 5am this morning, slept, then dragged myself out of bed and did a 30 minute #AppleFitness strength workout.
I may have time to make a brief appearance at @ByMUG before heading off to set for the last day of #FilmProduction / #FilmMaking before we put it all away and not look at it for two weeks, so we can see everything with fresh eyes and not seeing around the frame as we move into postproduction.
Snuck my #AppleFitness workout in before heading to set; 20 minutes of kickboxing and 10 minutes of HIIT and now it’s time to head off to set. Staying fit while in #FilmProduction can be a real challenge.
Sunday: went for a stroll with @TAV before brunch, then came home and have been digitally puttering the afternoon away while watching the director's commentary of the Blair Witch. Busy work week ahead, and the last three days of this #FilmProduction project this coming weekend.
200 million dollar budgets are usually reserved for Marvel or DC blockbusters. $300 million dollar budgets are typically reserved for “Avengers”-level movies. But Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2” sequel apparently has a budget that has ballooned up to $310 million, according to a new report in The Hollywood Reporter....
Thursday: 122 seconds of plank, followed by 5.2 km of #running (1°C). Had a lovely sleep-in again, but had to really rush through my morning again. On the plus side, I think I feel like I've caught up on my sleep.
Run felt great and fast (for me). Trying to get all the bits in order for going back into #FilmProduction tomorrow. Two more long weekends and we (should) be done main production.
Some photos from the set; the panorama on the bottom is where we shot the last, intense scene of the night Sunday. I marvel at actor’s abilities to find an emotion and go with it.
The location is delightfully creepy and we may be the last film to shoot there before it gets renovated. #FilmProduction#FilmMaking
Got home just after 4am today once we wrapped day 13 of #FilmProduction. Woke up with close to zero energy, and dragged myself through two #AppleFitness workouts. I’ve done a bit of email, and I feel a nap coming on. Returning to set Friday, do a few days of normalcy is welcomed.
Got my 30 minutes of #AppleFitness in this morning, have had breakfast, and am arriving on set for day 13 of our shoot and the last of the ten day stretch. Tomorrow, I wake up at home and have a few days off! #FilmProduction
Day 11 of #FilmProduction wrapped up on time, and I was in bed by 4am. Time to crawl out of bed, do some exercise, and return to start day 12. Staying in a hotel tonight to save some time and hopefully get some extra sleep as we finish out the nine day stretch.

Finally home from Day 8 of #FilmProduction. Long, tough day that included half the day outside in almost -20°C windchill with gusting winds and snow. I was even a human sandbag for a while. 🤣
We got our day done. One nice thing is that even though we’re driving 60-90 minutes each way, we are talking about film the whole time, and that’s something I don’t get to do often.
Time to answer some email and then sleeeeeeeep. … and start all over again once I’m up. 🤣
