Day 14:

Stunts, long dolly shots, night shots – it all happened today. 

Today is the big day when Corbin does his own stunt flying into a cabinet with glass shelves housing his snow-globes.  We shot four cameras on it.  It looks great I can’t wait to see it all edited together. 

The last shot of the day was a 50′ dolly shot in the back alley of the studio.  Blue-green night light, pools of light for streetlights and people walking in and out of the shot.  Austin (Dolly Grip) did a great job of staying with our actors and a foreground extra that framed the shot.  It’ll all make sense later but for now let’s just say it’s an awesome shot.  Thank you Austin (and Tom) for a great dolly shot and thank you to the electrics for the hustle to get the lights and power up.

Alas, your moment of Zen.
