Feb. 5th - 8th

This weekend was ridic. We stayed in a mad creepy motel, slept in a 600 degree room for a few hours, shot all day, slept for a couple hours, shot all day, slept for a couple hours shot all day... I think that pretty much sums it up. I can't really differeniate it between days right now. It might be because I got a concussion from getting hit in the head with the crane. I might be exaggerating. I also seemed to develop narcolepsy by sunday's shoot. My body pretty much quit on me, and I don't blame it. We definitely need to start making our days in a timely fashion, because the 5 hour turnaround just isn't cutting it. We didn't even get to shoot the diner scene because it was too busy or something like that so we have to come back... I probably won't be able to during the week because of my courseload, which sucks because I was looking forward to it too. The main lighting highlight was taking 2 - 3 ish hours to set up this sickkkk silhoulette tent shot. It was crane from the ext. house to the tent that David and Lana were in and you could see their shadows on the wall. I was so stoked it worked out, but then my spirit completely broke when I realized I had been spending so much time and energy on this one 3 second shot and still had a whole night of setups ahead of me that I didn't really care about as much. Also, my boots have holes in them and the snow was slushy and I had puddles and blue toes. There were a few wardrobe/continuity issues which could have been easily prevented so we were set back a bit this weekend. Justin saved us a lot of time by realizing we could just flop a shot that broke the line. Spending the majority of my weekend at a graveyard was pretty weird..and I decided the saddest thing I have ever seen is happy birthday balloons on gravesights.

I felt a little better once I got home. I have had a headache for 3 days (see concussion) but I took a long hot shower, ate, and watched House. Now I'm trying to play catch up on an obscene amount of homework and tomorrow starts the sick cycle all over again. There is no time to relax this week because the upcoming weekend is going to be just as intense. Some of the hardest lighting set ups for outside the shadowy house. Hopefully, after some talks with the rest of the crew we can work out some more kinks to make us more efficient. Zach and I are on the same page and were continuing to work smoothly together..it can only get better from here.
