It’s been brought to my attention that I’ve been most derelict in my blogging duties and so it’s now time to play a little catch up. But first, I’ll be right back – the new season of “Heroes” is on.
OK, I’m back. Shall we…
Day 6: Whoa, what a day. Long, long day – second meal – almost lost it.
Day 7: Ah, lots and lots of hand-held work today. After lunch we went six hour straight, from shot to shot to shot. So fast and hard that the producer walked up and shook my hand and the end of the night. To the crew, I thank you.
Day 8: Insert day. Quiet, relaxed and still a full day. We tried something that may or may not work in the final edit. We needed one of the console buttons to light up when it was pressed. To do that, we aimed my green laser pointer into the back of the button and when it was pressed, we fired the laser and it looked like the button lit up. Shifty buggers aren’t we?!
Day 9: Office day. Lots more hand-held work.
Day 10: Something happened today, what was it… what was it… let me think – Ah, yes, the dimmer board went down. In a frantic run, the lights got unplugged real fast and a make shift dimmer got made from hand dimmers. Yup, it was a good day.
Day 11: Start of the morning with the oil pressure running real high on the genie. Called the owner and he said, it’s fine, just run it. Soon enough, it was back to normal. I don’t think things are supposed to work that way, but who am I to complain. Nine page day today and we got every last syllable. Dimmer board works again – OE. Finished the day with tape number 40 and it’s our last day of studio work. Next entry, we’ll be on location.
: : Super, cool translight
: : camera gets an update
: : I’m listening, I’m listening…
: : Sandbag races.
: : Uh, right.
: : Aaron hit the mark every time. Nice.
: : I hope someone kept this.
: : Our new dimmer board.
: : Our radio station gets a make-over to an office set.
: : Josh has got wood. And Jessica makes it bleed. Wow, does that ever sound wrong!
: : We’re back at the Studio set for the last shot of the stage work.
Finally got the photos to upload. I’ll try to add more soon.

Yipee! A day is not complete without a trip to Eric’s blog – this time it was quite worthwhile – good stuff – sorry we all harass you about updating, but you my friend are a great source of entertainment to us. Cheers.

So glad you updated. I’m stealing a picture or two. My favorite part is the description of the lighting board issue… OE. Great seeing you guys last night. We should do it again soon.

You realize I was checking this thing like three times a day, right? And WOE!, it was not updated. And then it was. And my day? She was complete.
heart you!
