The big scene between Luis & Naomi went very well. With the video storyboard I did days ago, Hank and I didn't have to guess at where we'd put the cameras. I wish I'd done more of those. There's still time, especially with the fight scene, the frantic man scene and the two coffee shop scenes coming in the final weekend of shooting.
Both Naomi & Luis really benefited from the rehearsals, but they starting delivering their lines a bit flat on two takes. We managed to get plenty of coverage. I think it's going to look fantastic.
We had to shut off the AC to cut down on the ambient sounds while we had them boomed. And, FUCK, was it hot. Speaking of hot...
...We went back to the parking lot and grabbed a few of the shots that where we had the boom coming out and the alternate take we missed. It was freaking hot. I think we managed to keep the continuity (as far as natural lighting), but it was scorching. Thankfully, we weren't there long.
Next weekend is going to be a mother fucker. We've got another shoot at my place on Friday. Then on Saturday, we have two shoots at Sip, the coffee shop downtown. Not to mention Frantic Man's scene, the scene we missed at the Rumbo office and the fight scene in the parking lot across the street from the Milam. Whew. It's gonna be freaking heavy!!!!
I'm not even sure what we're gonna do about a wrap party yet. I know Luis has to leave at the end of the month and I will be in Houston about that same time too. I don't know. I might have to take him out for drinks and dinner separate from the group.
Either way, I'm excited at the prospect of having it all in the can and looking forward to pulling my hair out in post. Written, produced, edited, scored and directed... by me. Wow.
