ICEBREAKER, DAY OCHO
We are shooting at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis again today, this time with Sasha and Eric. Crew call is 10am, cast at 11am.
We had a late start today, which really sucks and hurt us bad at the end of the day. We also had a rain storm, but the delay came right at lunch so it didn't really hurt us too bad.
We had a Matthews Dolly and 75ft of dolly track to work with today. Setting that up was our first priority, and actually didn't consume too much time.
After that, we got Sasha, Haley (playing the hot mom) and Austin (playing the bratty kid, and also my son in real life) through make-up while we quickly blocked the scene out. Once we were set, this scene went vey smooth and turned out great.
We then moved on to a semi-complicated shot in one of the stairwells in the park. Sasha, Eric and Zeus start at the bottom and walk all the way to the top, all while delivering lines. I had to the pan the camera to follow them up the stairs and it was easier than I though (considering the camera and myself were positioned on a ledge). We had some audio issues and the scene may have to go through some ADR. Then the rain started coming down...
...I quickly grabbed out trash bags and everyone started shoving film equipment into them. Then everyone made a mad dash for the gazebo, which wasn't too far away. Nothing got damaged, thank GOD. We broke for lunch (thank you honey for the great food!!) and waited for the rain to stop.
About 45 minutes later, we were setting up the dolly and getting the motions down. The scene went great. Sasha and Eric did a great job and Ben our PM did a nice job pulling the dolly. A "Folk" concert of something started up in the gazebo and the park became busier, totally messing with our audio, so ADR is a must for this scene.
All in all, I think the day went well. We could have done without the late start (we really lost our light at the end) but what the hell, roll with the punches, right?
We're off for 2 weeks now, our next shooting date is July 16.
Stay tuned...
(not many pictures today, too much other stuff to do!)
