Created Some fake buildings this week

Working on some editing.  Got to make some fake buildings for an establishing shot. Came out good.  I'll put a picture of it up tonight.

What do you do?

What do you do when an actor wears the wrong glasses to a shot (actually he couldn't find the ones he wore before)?  You have to edit the footage to look like the original glasses.


Here's a shot from the main shooting day.

Here's a shot done a week later that got forgotten

Here is my attempt to make the new glasses look like the old glasses.

A Huge Day

Had my longest shooting day ever.  Started at 8 in the morning to be let into my location, returned at about 10to15 after 9 and didn't leave again until 9:30 pm.  Very long day but very worth it.  I guess that's how alot of the pros do it.
We shot 3 different scenes, 1 that is earlier in the movie involving a politician giving a press conference.  We didn't plan on shooting this scene, but there was a perfect place in our shooting location (a local skating rink) that made it hard to resist.
The other 2 scenes were late in the movie.
Did all kinds of shots.  Tripod, my hand held rig, used my crane which is always cool but sucks to transport, and even got to use my track dolly.
 Everyone did great.  Thanks to Bradd, Matt, Sonny, Danny, Janine, Amy, Natalie, and even Barbara who I think had any intention of being in a movie but played along just the same.  Thank you, you did great.

Matt takes a break.

Basically caught up

This gets me caught up to the present on the movie process.  I did fly through many details in which I'm sorry.  But now we will get a true blog of what is going on as it happens.
