Day 3: Cyber Punked

We had a great shoot today. I've tried not to shoot in sequence so it will make me be more conscious about what's going on in the frames.

My video storyboarding plan has fallen short. But today I did manage to get Naomi & Luis to do some rehearsing for their big scene together.

Anyhow, Hank, as usuall, came through with some great stuff. The shoot today was pretty short. We just needed to get "Rick" reading the crazy email he assumes is his friends' idea of a good joke. Hence the title of today's blog.

Again, Luis' lush character got to have a beer. Compared to the other beer bottles we've had in this shoot, this one might be a bit more obvious.

I'm having a great time. I feel much more confident about my abilities now than I had when we fired off the first frame. Much more than in "Caught In The Rain". Working with the actors has been very interesting. It was much easier to explain the character's motivations to the actors than I thought. And since this is the first indie film both my leads have done, it's been a learning experience for all of us.

We have Luis & Naomi's two big outdoor scenes tomorrow after 5pm. I'm not sure what to expect. Hopefully, we'll be able to catch that magic hour that directors hate to try to chase. Dusk is really hard to grab.
