Ugh what day. Up by 6AM over at Matthew’s by 7PM. My dumb ass left the camera on all night and we had no juice. The charger and spare battery were left at Goen. We made a mad dash to, got the battery on the charger and filmed the opening scene.
By 9AM we head on to French Street. Yet another snag. Some jackass decided it was a fine day to paint strips in a parking lot. You would think this wouldn’t be to much of a big deal but it was using the machine that was loader than a lawn mower. By the way, we left the big battery and the charger at Goen yet again. We get a few things we can dub the audio. No real talking just wides and such. Mathew heads back to Goen for the battery. Monica, one of my co-workers who was so nice to help us got us the location for the house on French Street. She went over to talk to the painters. About 15 minutes later they were done. Filming resumes. Erik showed up to take some production photos. He missed most of the exiting stuff the night before.
We finish what we need about 15 minutes after Jason and his wife showed up. We wrapped the scenes and French Street and headed back to Goen to finish off the scenes in the basement. By for we were wrapped for the day. By this time I’m hot, tired and in desperate need of a shower. When I get back to night from the Cup of Joe cast party I’m going to capture the footage. I want to try and do some compositing tonight and some color correction. Not a whole lot but there are a few areas that will look really cool.
