Telekentically moving chess piece

In the tavern scene Mr. Trollins telekentically moves a chess piece with his finger. This is the 3rd attempt at achieving that effect. I'm not sure that the reflect is working properly though.

Location Scouting around Droughty Point

A bit over a week ago I conducted some location scouting around Droughty Point. So for those who don't know where that is here's a map.
In the top left corner is the Tasman Bridge.






I headed down to Tranmere and walked down to the ew sub developments. Fortunately the real estate agent managing the land had a temporary office set up so I was able to have a chat with him.

The kind fellow granted me permission to explore his land and even offered to drive me round when he had more time. On this particular occassion I set off on foot with just my video camera. I didn't have my tripod either so some of the footage is rather shaky.

Microphone Tests

To ensure I have access to a microphone I decided to buy my own. So I trotted off to McCann's music where Brett the sales man provided me with assistance.

He kindly researched various microphones which would suit my needs and I selected the one I thought would be most appropriate.

But to be doubly assurred he suggested we interview some people - at McCann's Music and in the street! So here is the video from those interviews.
