Knight of the Holy Order
We wrapped shooting around 6:00 PM which was a full hour ahead of schedule. Yeah for us!
This morning started off on a slightly bad note. We had rain and suprisingly cold weather which fortunately only set up back about an hour. Then we had nothing but sun and surprisingly hot weather, so be careful what you wish for. Since my last two scheduled shoots were both canceled because of rain I was beginning to feel a little cursed and wondering what I did wrong, but it all worked out.
This girls were phenomenal to work with and were real troopers when patiently waiting for us to light a scene, or walk through direction. All three were a pleasure to work with.
I'll get some info up about the actor who played the role of Clarence as he deserves heaps of praise as well (and is, in fact, the person not behind the camera in the picture below).
And let me say that nothing helps a production more than a good producer, a good DP, and a good wife. Bryan Fitzgerald and Nathan Pope rose to the task of producing and DPing with both of them producing, what is in my opinion, some of their best work to date. It's always good when you look through the viewfinder of a camera and turn to your DP and say "You know what the scene needs?" And he's already five steps ahead putting together exactly what you were going to ask for. And my dear wife was on set the entire time providing any additional support across all departments. At times she handled 2nd AC duties, helped take care of craft services, aided with wardrobe and make up, and did anything else that was asked of her.
But I know that all of the good news and accolades do nothing to excite the DVXUser Fanbase. No drama. No one thrown off the set. Where's the fun in that? So how about an injury?
I hurt my knee several years ago and it has never been the same. Occasionally it will act up and I won't be able to move without a cane and a great deal of pain for a month or so until it heals. So when I woke up this morning and felt me knee going, I was understandably worried. I rigged my knee up as best as I could with a brace and bandages which helped me get through the day without too much affect on our pace. Though by the last shot of the day I wasn't very mobile and ended up directing it like this:
Anything to get the shot. :thumbsup:
I've got a pizza on the way. I'm going to put my feet up and rest. I'm not even going to think about the footage until Monday, then I'll get to picture lock as soon as possible to send off to the composer. Grabs and stuff will have to wait a few more days.
