Reshoots & Pickups - Day 1
We started reshoots and pickups today. We were in Dave Giffords house today (Dave is playing John Corwin, Dave Corwins father). The room we were in all day was the living room. It had lots of texture and things on the walls, lots of wood furniture and other things. We shot a conversation between Dave and his father first. It was really good. Rob (playing Dave) did a fantastic job. In a very emotional moment in their
conversation we stopped to pray over Rob and make sure God’s anointing was on the performance. It was awesome, Rob did his best work to date. Dave Gifford did a great job as well, his unique voice really packs a punch. We were also in the unique situation of recycling lighting setups. If we needed to point in one direction of the room for different pieces of the film that might be spread out by a half hour or more. We just put on a different lens, had actors change shirts, and move some furniture. Then off we went.
Eric Stevenson (playing Steven), drove up from Houghton, NY for just one shot. The shot was a good one. It might be one of my favorites of the film. Nothing like beautiful color and a nice camera movement to brighten my mood! 
Unfortunately in the end we did run out of time and had a few small things to get. We even got down to just me on crew in the end because my Gaffer had to leave. But that’s ok, me and
Dave Gifford did just fine for that last hour. Nothing like flying solo 
We’ll be back sometimes later in the month to get the last stuff in this house, and it’ll be fine. Our Gaffer will be out of town the majority of the month so we’ll be shooting by ourselves that time. It’ll be my first all day solo experience, definitely need prayer for that.
We have a break in-between today and Fridays shoot. Friday will be the longest and arguably toughest day of the entire shoot. We’ll be very economical in our shooting order, including the amount of lighting setups we are required to do. We will be starting an hour earlier too to make sure we are ready to go over the days plans and pray around sunrise. This will be interesting.
