No reason to be nervous. You will rock the house! I know it.:beer:
Unless you're nervous about that big dude with the sword, I'd be nervous too.

Wicked location, BTW.

:thumbup:
 
I haven't directed my own flick in about a year or so. I'm feeling rusty. :P
The big teddy bear ride is giving me nightmares of Akira.
 
Got the final prop, Fat monster has nothing on us. This weapon is so deadly no prop master from Cali can comprehend!!!
 
So rehearsals went well but some one called the cops on us. The door bells rings and so we just thought it was neighbors so when Barry opens the door 2 cops poke their head out from behind the doorway and said is everything ok here? When they found out we were just rehearsing they looked pissed. One of them gave that sarcastic "ok just be careful" line with a look that could kill. The change of location did effect all of our shots and we had to work that out too but I think we figured it out.
 
Everything is in place for tomorrows shoot. Got my cop buddies to buffer any cop problems we may have, going to pick up the generator and 2k from my shooting buddies out in Long Island, the main prop is working perfectly, have a small but cool crew, its not going to rain, got an extra mode of transportation, Mike got a nice lens for the money shot, actors are ready, what else is there...
 
We are on the street next to the property. I didn't ask for permission this time. I supposedly have a permit for the area but until I have it in my hands I'm taking precautions.
 
After a long night of shooting outside in the cold we have day 1 in the can. Due to some camera issues we fell behind a few hours but everyone was willing to keep going to make up for it. We shoot again tomorrow night and hope to have everything we need.
 
I roughed out what we have and it flows nice. We are already at 5 minutes so this is a non-compete joint. The actors and actresses did a great job with everything and I'm really happy.
:) We lost a lens cap actually but we a slight set up problem with the rails and stuff trying to put it together in the dark. We had my cam set up but Mike wanted to use his set up with the longer rails, shoulder pad and follow focus so he changed it out. The Proteus rail system has these clamp things where the bolt goes through and tightens to hold the rails but the thing we didn't know was that they are only threaded on one side and for some reason that stumped us for a bit when we put the bolt through the threaded side first leaving us trying to tighten it to an un-threaded side. We also were bullshitting around talking a bit longer than we should have now that I think about it. I guess it really didn't take that long to get it set up but it seemed like the next thing I knew it was 10pm and we hadn't shot yet so we went into over drive running around like crazy. I think we previewed one take for some reason but we put full trust that we were getting what we needed otherwise. Steve did a great job shooing the cops away and they did come often.
