On the Set: Day 8

I'm going to make this one short because tomorrow is going to be a long day and I gots to get to bed. Today we shot at the offices I work at. The highlight of today's shoot for me was that we did a scene with my college friend Chris Wyant. Chris is in my old short films (including "Warm Milk 2," of which my production company's name is based), and his appearance in this movie represents a bridge between two distinct eras of my life. I don't know, maybe I'm getting too deep, but it really meant a lot to me. Plus he's good company and he's hilarious, and he did a scene today with Ben where they both had the whole crew laughing.

Afterwards we headed over to my place for a few more scenes. Today's scenes look distinctly different than other scenes because the camera went handheld much of today (for what will be a major flashback sequence). Things went pretty smoothly overall (with the exception of some rooster crowing from the neighbors). Laura stepped it up and acted as our production assistant, and it wouldn't have been such a smooth day without her, so huge thanks. Vinny Bove wrapped today, which is kind of hard to imagine since he's been such a big part of this.

I went to sit with the crew in their hotel room tonight and plot the next two days at the comic book store. Bottom line: It's going to be rough. We've got a lot to do and little time to do it. I find myself a little upset that some scenes will look inferior to others because we'll be forced to rush. Hopefully with some expert planning, we'll use every moment of our time to its fullest. Be warned though...tomorrow's entry might be very stressful. Oh check this out...

Cola sitting at her desk! We had to do an impromptu Target run to get that shirt for the scene, but it looks good so all is well. Special thanks to my coworker Winnie for lending us her office, doing the breakfast run, picking up Chris at the train, and being awesome and super-friendly to everyone.
