Day 9 & 10:
: : Night mode on the “Office” set
: : just over a week into production, what’s this doing on the set!?
: : a tree of lights.
: : Corbin takes a much needed nap.
: : if I have a signature shot, it’s got to be the bird’s-eye-view shot.
: : after the day of playing the “clip the clothespin on the crew member” game, clothespins became a scarce commodity.
: : Corbin takes a quite moment on set.
: : Here’s something I’ve been toying with on this show. It’s a technical schedule loosely based on an idea proposed by DoP Paul Wheeler. On a spreadsheet, I typed in the basic information for each scene and added to that information necessary to the camera, grip and electric departments as well as a section for my own notes. Each night I’d take the call sheet for the next day and set aside the scenes we’d be shooting, adding notes for the various departments as they relate to those scenes and print a copy for each department. For example, if we’re shooting in a hall, I might put notes about what lights I’d like to use, what grip/dolly equipment we might need, or what lens filters I might want. It might also be notes about the weather since we might have to light a set based on the conditions that existed when we shot the exteriors. It worked somewhat. It falls apart when there are significant changes to the call sheet. Also, our preproduction planning was limited so knowing exactly what might be needed when and where just didn’t happen. Still, I like the system and I’ll keep toying with it and trying to improve it.
: : Marvin’s (2nd AC) artistry on the slate.
