So tired

So last night, being Saturday, as was already stated, we had a late night shoot. It started out so sweet as we shot a really funny scene (in my opinion anyways) for a small part of the movie, which we dont want to give away because its pretty damn good and we can leave it as a surprise so to speak. Anyways, during shooting, a couple of friends from work called me in hopes of possibly coming by to watch us in action as far as making the movie goes. I thought that was sweet, but had to tell em it was a bad night, because we werent doing anything too exciting as far as warranting coming to watch. Once we are doing some really good shit, they will be more than welcome though.

Anyhow, after that, we headed out to scope an area for a pretty important part of the movie. This is one of those situations where you learn through experience, how to and how not to prepare for something. We went into the nights shoot with a basic idea of what we needed, but we didnt have anything planned, mapped out, or a shot list. So what in theory could have taken an hour, took close to three. I think we got what we needed, it was just one of those tedious location shoots that takes forever, and since there was no dialogue or funny happenings, people got tired, and fast. As Tommy said, we started taking group pictures of us on location, with our thumbs up and being stupid, and I showed my ass again.

After the nights shoot, Egan, Koziol and myself headed to the 24 hour McDonalds in Quincy, where the car in front of us had a dude puking out the side door, and Egan paying 11 dollars for a value meal and a drink. Sucker.

This morning, we were supposed to meet at 10 again, but since last night went longer than anticipated, we gave ourselves an extra half hour. The shitty thing about today though, is we were supposed to get some driving shots, and neighborhood exteriors for a part for a scene we've completed, but it was pouring out, and we need a dry, sunny landscape. The morning wasnt for nothing though, as we got another important, albeit brief series of shots taken care of, and everyone said it was pretty funny, so I'll take that as a good weekend of shooting.

All in all, a pretty good weekend, although missing the part we scheduled to do sets us back about 20 years. Busy weekend next week too, hopefully nothing has to get canceled because we still havent heard from one of the people we need there. Meeting Wednesday to finalize some more shit, and more updates later.
