Awwww – Thanks for the comments Andy, Dave.  It was an absolute pleasure working with you and our cast of characters. Yeah – everyone was really easy to work with, eh? And the new folks were really friendly too! I appreciated the opportunity to get to know our new cast members and to capture what was going on during the production. I enjoyed the whole process from start to finish….

In continuation from my last post…..

As the sun cast its last hour of light upon us, Andy was still in the midst of mulling over the details on how the scene would play out on the screen.

And it looked like all of the details were accounted for and taken into consideration…

And then it finally came …. the night that is …. and the actors moved into position to allow the directors and the light crew to test the shot…

And then, the call came…

As Dave had mentioned, we eventually got word that the lead character was unable to make it to this shoot due to unforeseen circumstances. This forced the crew to rethink the whole entire shoot. It could be the blow that shuts down this whole night…..

Do they throw in the towel and call it a day….? Or do they proceed without their lead actor….?

We had the lights and the effects turned out exactly as the crew had hoped for …

We had the camera and Dave found the perfect angle to capture the crime scene …

Everything was exactly as the crew had imagined it and the cast was in position … But the lead was not going to be able to shoot his scenes tonight …

What do we do? Well, we do what we do as professionals… the work continues and as they say in show business …. “The Show Must Go On”……

But there was just one more question…. Who was going to be the corpse in the car at the scene?

Heh Heh … there are definitely no slouches on this set and with the majority of the film crew pulling double duty, our best bet was to have our beloved Andy assume this role…

And from that point onward, the cameras were rolling and we were getting the job done.

As the story goes, the police discover the body and begin their investigation ….

And the only witness is being interviewed…

As we captured the shots we needed, the pressure was easing off and we actually had a few chuckles in between takes …. especially with some of our actors making funny comments in their ad lib dialogue … So you really want that raspberry filled jelly donut, do you Detective Alfredo?  :)

So as not to interfere with the rest of the filming as we were dealing with night shots and specific lighting requirements, I laid my camera down and let the rest of the evening unfold as it needed to.

As the crew called it a wrap just before midnight, there was a feeling of satisfaction in the air and the cast and crew were in great spirits. Despite the evening’s change in plans, their was a great sense that some real cool footage was gained from this evening’s work.

In Part 3, I will feature the cast and crew who made the visions of this shoot come to life to acknowledge their contribution to this project…

More to follow folks….

Love Tina  :)
