Shooting day # ??

I'm not gonna lie, I can't differentiate one weekend from the next. General feelings is that I think we're getting more efficient and making more timely days. I had a really good lighting day last weekend (maybe, I think) it was a night scene and Bobby was choking and I made a scary face in the black wrap and then had a light out the window. So the outside one gave it the overall light and texture to the walls and the light on bobby was just wrapped in the blackwrap so only a little light got out (and it made a cool face on the wall) but it was pretty cool. And Cody spazzed after the take so I knew I did a good job. The other challenge was when we ran out of daylight because of other things and so I had to do day for night (night for day? - - Damnit Cody). Had to make daylight at night, it took some fiddling around but eventually figured it out. I can't remember anyting else persay.

Sidenote: I'm winning the gold stars race to breakfast! hooray.

This weekend was good, mostly because it was my 21st so we didn't have to shoot on Friday and Saturday morning didn't require my skillz so I napped in my car until I was sent home annnd then Justin covered for me at night. Sunday was good though. I was really refreshed and everyone else was really tired from the night before. I was hoping my chipperness would rub off a bit. But the days are draining no matter what. Becky saved all of our lives by bringing us a real lunch. My plan prior was to eat dry cereal because I havent had time to go food shopping in weeks. It was the best surprise. I also love the days that we shoot with Shamus because he is such a good character to have around. He's always joking around and keeping things upbeat. Something I discoverd was to take advantage of snack breaks to do my lighting without the usual obstacle course. While everyone else is sitting and calm I can move everything around and be ready for the next shot after break without being like "excuse me, excuse me, sorry, oops, excuse me, can i just put this over there?, sorry." And its not like I need that much of a break anyways since I can usually just chillax between shots.
