Last night, we had our first and only night-shoot. The call was at 5:30 pm at a little country store called Moores Grocery in Berea, KY, where we shot until 1 am. We were shooting scene 13, in which they have stopped for supplies at a roadside store. The scene is intended to introduce some of the tension between all four characters. It was the best scene we've shot so far. Jenna (Wendy) and Nick (Scott) were relaxed and having fun, Thomas (Brian) and Jen (were conflicted, but subtly so). Overall, you can really see the cast bonding and the effect it is having on their scenes.
Too, the crew is functioning like a well-oiled machine. Not only did they get all of their shots (what they call "making their day"), Andrew (the director) and Chad (the Director of Photography) even talked John (one of the producers) into getting a few more night-time driving shots for the can.
Thankfully, we are off today. Night shoots will wreck you.
So when am I going to get tickets to see the movie? Is Emerson St. John ever going to make me an honorary Col.?
