Reshoots & Pickups - Day 5
Woo! What a day of shooting! I started at about 8am and didn’t finish until around 6pm. We had lots of stuff to do today and ended up shooting about 160 minutes of footage. We also completed a sequence today that was more complex than anything we have attempted before. It was added to the script in the San Antonio airport months back in January. We had 4 characters all with 2 positions so we needed lots of angles, lots of coverage, it took a long time. I also went “indie” style and grabbed a naked Canon A1 without an adapter to get a few shots outside. They are quick enough that nobody can tell (whooops…cats out of the bag…lol).
It was great, and we had a new actor start today, he did fantastic. The conversations he had to do I wrote for him because ironically I had the same conversation with him at one point. I wont tell you the details of the conversation because it’ll ruin the film but he did great. Very few takes to get what we needed. Probably some of the most natural acting we’ve captured. I was moving quickly today as well, really moving along. We had so much to do I never stopped really the whole day. Even if I sat for a small moment to break, my brain never takes a break. It’s almost pumping a million miles an hour when I’m on set, I go into my own little world and it doesn’t let up until I’m done. Then I crash, like a freight train, lol.
This was our last BIG day of shooting, it’s all downhill from here with VERY LITTLE left. Everyone is getting very excited. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers, we are really close to bagging this thing!
