DAY 4: We finally got some clouds for our exteriors. The script was written with rain but not luck. If you’ve read the past couple of entries, you know we’ve had planes, trains and today ladies and gentlemen, today we had a truck playing “La Cucaracha” for a very, very long time. It’s cute at first, but after about a minute, not so much! By night, we had stoners playing loud music. Great. The “night color” mix works really very well – it just doesn’t carry very far because it absorbs so much light. The mix is Lee 281 (3/4 CTB) & Lee 241 (fluorescent 5700K).
DAY 5: Corbin mentioned something early on by saying he wanted the movie to be a “video noir.” He didn’t have a clear definition of what that meant and I’ve been toying with the term in my head and I think on day 5 of the shoot it started to come to light. I know it seems like it might be late into the shoot to have it finally actualized, but given the fact that we only had a few day of prep within the two weeks prior to production, I don’t think that’s too bad. Also, nothing that we’ve shot prior today has been comprimized. Just the opposite.
DAY 6: We had nudity on the set today. Everyone behaved very professionally I’m pleased to report (not that there wasn’t some hushed humor on the side).
Here’s a funny anecdote – here it is as i remember it. Our script supervisor, Lindsay, made a New Year’s resolution to not swear. During on scene, we needed a long section of the script to be read aloud that was loaded to the hilt with profanities. Ouch, my virgin ears!!!
DEFINITION: irony (i•ro•ny) – noun (pl. -nies) • a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result
One final note, one of our producers is on a one year quest to eat only raw foods. He said something tonight I thought I should share. Like a Zen thought puzzle I offer it to you:
You got to eat a lot of blueberries if you want to live off them.
: : Gary (AD) – Love that scooter. To think he’s been using his legs like a suck all these years!
: : Melissa (PA) & Jesse (Producer) having a fun on the set (what’s with the Coke product placement?)
: : MEDUSA!
: : One of the coolest shots. Two matching close-ups of Corbin & Dan Lauria.
: : Corbin blocks a scene with Dan.
: : Blocking the shot. Corbin’s idea inspired by an other shot I suggested and shot. The actors stand on either side of the gate while the dolly travels either side of the gate passing dangerously close to the edge of the gate. Super cool shot.
: : Great bunch of guys!
