*Duck when the shooting starts! **Day Job Edit**

Tonight I start filming on my first solo short film. I’m pretty psyched about it. We are filming the final scene first, because it’s the only scene in which I need both the actor and the actress. I figured I’d get the tough one out of the way. I feel completely unprepared but I’m ready to go. I’ve got to run by the store and get some last minute props and then I’m off to location. Should be fun, wish me luck.

As in not quitting my…

We did the filming last night. I ended up rewriting the scene because of some gusty wind and the low temp. I wrote it to take place inside. In hidesight in may have been a mistake. After filming we watched the footage and I realized something, I may be a good writer and I think I could be a decent director with some practice, but man I am a shitty cameraman. I was screwing up the lights and I was out of focus for a while (an issue I blame mostly on the camera) and I kept getting shots of the clock on the wall. So our 10 second scene shows a few hours passing on the clock. So the real test comes when I start editing and seeing if I can make it look good in editing. It is going to be a real chore. But I feel good about last night. I worked with some good people and we had a lot of fun. Lang was a huge help and I could not have done it without her, so thanks baby. She is totally getting Assistant Director (or assistant to the director as Jom Halpert might say)credit on this one. Two of my brothers were a big help too and they will get a little credit, but Lang was awesome even though she will down play her part in it all.
