We'll both do it! I just spoke to Alfredo and both of our schedules are open for this Saturday evening. I am home today - I am off this week with Alfredo joining me starting tomorrow for the rest of the week. When we get the details, we'll go over them and come back with any questions that we may have. Call me at home if we need to chat before hand. I'm really looking forward to this! I remember how much fun it was the last time I did some "extra" work for you. Let's hope the weather cooperates - it's been pouring rain each night this week - no walkies for the puppies so far on my time off.... :( Love Tina :) Andy, Dave – Sign us up! We’ll both do it!

YES!! We could use you. And especially Alfredo! He would look good as a cop. And you would look good as an accident witness. The shoot is July 4th, 7pm to 11pm at my parents' house. Can you make it? It would be amazing if you could. If yes, I'll send you an email with all the details. A7 TINA!!! YES!! We could use you. And especially Alfredo! He would look good as a cop.

If it fits in between visits from contractors with our current home renos (my roof is going to be re-done), I'd be happy to help out. But if you are looking for a burly, 6 foot, 200 pound guy or similar looking men, then I guess that would count me out..... ;) Tina Hi Andy, Dave,

The accident scene is fast approaching, and I'm getting nervous. It's a big shoot, we don't have a firm location to film yet, and I still have to wrangle some extras to be in the shoot. Plus, if the weather doesn't cooperate (i.e. if it rains) we are screwed. Damn outdoor night shoots... driving me crazy!

Professional movie crews always inlcude a continuity person (script supervisor) who continually monitor every single action made by the actors on every single take to make sure that what you see on the end product is as if the movie was done in one continous take from a multitude of different cameras shooting simultaneously for 2 hrs. Acting is so much more than just delivering lines, its the ability to continually repeat your movements and emotions exactly, take to take for the sake of post production and believability of performance. And it is the challenge of the director to properly convey to the actors not only what they are saying but what they are "doing" in each take. Our shooting that evening proved to be a lesson in blocking and directing for continuity as both Andy and I became pretty lenient on how both actors delivered thier actions they made to try and help portray the degree of naturalism we were looking for. As Andy later found out, our leniency proved to be a challenge in the edit suite. Perhaps it was the soaring heat inside, or the confined space (guess my house was never designed to do interior filming) that alot of the little things the actors did that we should have considered were over looked as patience was starting to wane. We were not getting the naturalism we were looking for in our intitial takes from our actors and angles and lighting positions were limited. And I was beginning to feel frustrated that I was not relaying properly to the actors what we wanted of them from take to take. So as Andy stated, we put the camera down to a break and regroup and let the actors go outside to rehearse which allowed them to exchange dialouge on a personal level and to get to know one another. When we resumed things things got rolling, the acting more natural and low and behold we started to get the shots we were looking for. Now don't get me wrong, the evening was not as bad as this writing may make it appear....it was hot, it was a challenge but that is to be expected when making any kind of motion picture. Learning to deal with all the elements. Now, you may wonder why we chose my house for the location of this sequence when both Andy and I have commneted on it's lack of space, well when you watch the completed video (or catch the sequence cut on youtube) you'll know why. It yields a couple of nice shots that we would not have been able to obtain with a common, solid door to an entrance. In the end we got the actors where we wanted them to be, enough footage to give options in post and Andy cut together a really good, well paced dramatic sequence that will kick off the video. So to echoe Andy's statement, a big thanks to Lorelei and both of our wives for being there and lending support...and yes, I'm very happy with how it turned out!! Time to gear up for the next shoot!!
