Forgotten Hero

We spent the day filming in the kitchen, with a long lunch while Patrick prepared a delicious spaghetti sauce, fresh garlic bread and other yummies. 

A special shout out to Michael Felts, who has sent extra donations our way several times during this shoot to keep the food coming. Surprise gifts like this make the shoot all the more pleasurable!

We also stepped out this afternoon to re-shoot a scene that was originally inside a store. We had lighting problems with the original footage, so we re-staged the scene on the sidewalk downtown.  The new footage looks great, and gives another view of town to the audience. 

Tomorrow we’ll spend the entire day in the bedroom. With these strong lights it’s gonna get steamy. 

We worked in the closet this morning. Five actors plus our crew crammed into a tiny closet with the door closed and five lights blazing away. It was a sweaty experience.

Ironically the first line of the scene is a character saying, “It’s cold in here.”  We were all breaking a sweat.

Later this afternoon we picked up the scene we couldn’t film last week, and re-shot two scenes I wanted to light better.

We are on schedule and doing well.

Tomorrow we’ll be working almost entirely in the kitchen. There’s a lot of dialogue tomorrow and the challenge will be to keep the scenes lively.

The weather forecast is for mostly clear skies.  It’s a very good thing we got the rainy shots done early in the production, since we may have not get any rain the rest of this week.
