We were doing a stabbing shot where one of the girls stabs a killer in the shoulder with a butcher knife. We set the props up - A cabbage under a coat with a blood balloon on it. Next thing to do was frame the shot and stab the prop. Easy! Well for the next 30mins we could not stab the knife through the coat! It's an army issue goretex all weather coat, and getting the knife through it was pretty hard. We had blood dribbling out underneath, but no stab wound. It looked pretty funny.
Another funny one, well, funny now, but not at the time, we set up a big stunt, one take to get it right. Everything went well, the shot looked great. When the rushes were reviewed later on, it turned out that the shot was recorded over!!!! (we're shooting digital HD) So we had to set the whole thing up and shoot it again the next day. Put us behind a bit, but at least we can laugh about it.
Oh, and I wrecked a darkenss shot with my stupid stills camera flash! But we won't talk about that too much. hahaha!
