Thus ends the long, hot, sweaty yet productive weekend shoot. My film crew and I (consisting of my adventurous Director of Photography brother and able Production Assistant, Auntie R.) were out all weekend long. Friday evening was the filming of the Reserves Warrants Team. Saturday morning was the traffic stop scene of Dep. Mudflap and me in my Alfred Hitchcock cameo. Then was the Reserves Marine Division and because it's MY film and I'm totally biased and nepotistic, an interview with S. The final shot of Saturday was the interview with my Sgt. friend inside his patrol car.
Today was firearms training day with the cadets, all day. However we only had time to do 3 of the 5 interviews which means I'll have to return on another weekend when they are doing other kinds of training. Shooting this weekend took place mostly outside in the hot sun so I would not have to worry about lights (since my ex-employee, pater familias, was the one with the light kit and the lighting knowledge). I did my best this weekend to make sure audio would not be as problematic as it was on the trailer shoot. And I have lots and lots of production stills to share as soon as I can muster up the energy to get them off the CD that Auntie R. was kind enough to produce for the effort and post them to the Facebook page!
Tomorrow I am off from work so I will try to post the pic's and do some more logging work on the tapes. But I also have Job #2 in the afternoon, a car leaking radiator fluid, and our monthly Sheriff's meeting tomorrow night. So one thing I am definitely gonna do tonight is get some damn sleep and man, do I deserve it!
