I went through the cut today to see how much footage is in noise film that was not reshot. Answer: about 8 to 10 minutes, roughly half since the film is 16 minutes long. But that figure is an estimate. This does NOT include footage where we had to reshoot using a different approach (or having changed the story) because the first approach didn't work.
So why did we shoot so much? There was a lot of extra footage shot including test footage. We shot lots of stuff that we didn't end up using: Ben walking around outside, the truck driving toward the horizon, the attempts to rebuild the spinner, etc. We also shot a lot of pickups, stuff we forgot to shoot the first time around.
I guess the basic idea was to see if it's true that we shot everything twice. The answer is, no, only about half of the film.
