Here comes the rain

Wednesday we scrambled to shoot scene 12. This is a pretty quick scene in which Scott, dogged by the narrator, encounter a random couple as Scott is leaving a convenience store on the way home from work some time after the accident. The couple--more their behavior than physical resemblance--reminds him of Brian and Wendy and takes him out of the present. It was a race against the rain to get all of the shots required for this short scene. Kurt (pictured below) became our unofficial "project meteorologist" by staying glued to his iPhone all morning warning us of approaching storms. We got all but one shot in before the rain started and Andrew had to call a wrap.

Notice how I used the word "wrap?" It's rubbing off on me. Chad had a bunch of clothespins on shirt yesterday. I asked someone about them. "You mean the C-47's? Those are for clipping gels over the lights." they said. Clothespins are C-47's. I will find a way to work that into this blog again.

In the afternoon, the rain cleared off and Andrew, Chad, Emily, Emerson, Kurt and I went to check out Friday's locations. One is the morgue scene, another is the waterfall. They worked out the shots and blocking for the morgue scene in hopes that we can wrap there by 1 pm or so and leave plenty of time (and light) for the waterfall.
