Ready When You Are!
Directed by Douglas Kiefer, John N. Smith13minDocumental, Short
This short documentary takes a frank look at the difficulty of filmmaking before the digital era, when takes were precious and few. It's pure havoc on a pier in the Halifax dockyards as a National Film Board crew attempts to film 1000 Halifax school children playing I Believe in Music on their ukuleles. The crew's efforts are confounded by two destroyers, one helicopter, several tugboats, bullhorns, walkie-talkies, and a rather critical lack of bathroom facilities.
