@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 .

How Takashi Miike Shot His Latest Short Film on an iPhone 15 Pro (includes link to short film) (nofilmschool.com)

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. An adaptation of a manga story by the popular Japanese manga artist Osamu Tezuka, "Midnight" tells a simple story really about a late-night taxi driver (played by Kento Kaku) who offers to help those who need a...

Monday: 102 seconds of plank, 15 pushups, 10.4 km of (-6°C with a windchill of -12°C), picked up groceries, walked home, then did two 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> 🤣

1) Looking up through a group of evergreens at the light blue sky 2) Sun poking just above the horizon through some trees over the Rideau River 3) Leafless branches reaching down from the top, with blue sky 4) Trail through some trees. 5) Some odd ice formation on the edge of the Rideau River

@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 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 (-7°C with a windchill of -12°C) around .

Hit day 80 of my 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.

1) View looking up at Maman, a 10 metre tall sculpture of a spider, with wispy white clouds and a blue sky. 2) Recreational path on the Gatineau side, with some conifers in the distance. 3) The Rideau Canal, reflecting sun and cloudy sky.

We're done.

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.

Dark room full of pipes, valves, and decay.

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 strength workout.

I may have time to make a brief appearance at @ByMUG before heading off to set for the last day of / 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.

Monday: sleep… and maybe Dune 2.

Snuck my 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 can be a real challenge.

Friday: 150 seconds of plank, 10.1 km of (-7°C with a windchill of -12°C).

Slept an extra two hours, I'm heading into the last official weekend of / on this film.

The run was pretty good, tried a different route, managed to get a good photo of the ice texture (bottom right) that really shows the texture.

I also shot a quick short video showing how I run on ice at ~6:21/km rather than try to explain: https://youtube.com/shorts/IavMFUS82RU

Four images of some of icy conditions on parts of the run along the route, including a close-up photo of the ice, showing the dimpled texture of it.

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 project this coming weekend.

Friday: 143 seconds of plank, followed by 5.5 km of (1°C), a stop at the grocery store, and then walking home.

Another pretty good short run. Really starting to miss my longer runs though. Maybe next week.

Now, back off to Smiths Falls for more magic!

Thursday: 122 seconds of plank, followed by 5.2 km of (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 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.

Got home just after 4am today once we wrapped day 13 of . Woke up with close to zero energy, and dragged myself through two 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.

Finally home from Day 8 of . 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. 🤣
