One big issue I had was poor weather affecting my shots out in the open fields where the sky is visible. In these establishing shots it was important to have good weather so I had to travel to Oxfordshire on many weekends in order to get good weather with a days filming. A lot of the time the weather would change in the middle of filming so I managed to hide this by adding the stylisations to the shots. For example in the shot where Lokir has a match on action shot of Rorikstead, the weather was quite overcast by then but it is not as visible in the final piece.
Another problem I had was my actors laughing in the middle of shots. The main part where I had this badly was in the quick shot of Lokir killing the enemy soldier. As an un-edited shot the impact was very poor and slow because the actors were trying not to stab each other. However by speeding up the editing and having just a half second shot of it made it look a lot faster and explosive.
