 Well, I've been filming for about 2 months off and on, basically scenes that have corresponded with the actual seasons. I filmed a lot of individual characters throughout the summer and early fall, and in the past few weeks I began filming larger scenes with reenactment groups, with more to follow.

The reenactors were great. They took my basic script and brought it to life - I presume accurately, but definitely excellent either way. They're all excited about filming again, so I should be able to get a majority of the filming done more quickly from this point forward. Most professional films have a production schedule, but they are not much working around day jobs and other obligations.

My approach was to carefully and slowly film a few individual scenes with characters, just to have something to show to reenactors. After they saw the material and became interested, we were able to knock out three scenes in one afternoon with a large group. We'll probably maintain that pace for the rest of the filming, of course waiting until winter and spring for certain scenes.
