SORRY FOR THE DELAY...
ICEBREAKER DAY 17 (part 2)
We have a lot of stuff to get done between the hours of 10:00 pm and 2:00 am. And we have to deal with 150 or so extras that are drinking FOR REAL (it didn't take long for the cast & crew to start drinking for real, either).
We set up the dolly track (about 75 feet) along the southern most end of the bar- to film Emily storming out of the bar. This went fairly well, except for a few extras hamming it up for the camera. Emily did a great job as always and I appreciate Phil working the dolly, Sarah setting lights and Brian wrangling all f'ing cords. Thanks guys, you did an awesome job.
Next up was a cutaway shot of Keri behind the bar getting drinks for people. Keri is a natural and this went awesomely fast. As did the cutaways following this, of Keri talking with her "co-workers" AKA the staff at brothers.
While flipping dolly track and lights, we shot an entrance shot of Justen coming down the stairs through the crowd. We used the jib arm and got at least one really good take. Justen did a great job, it was just getting the extras to do what we wanted them that was a challenge. Oh well, it turned out.
After the track was flipped to the otherside of the bar, we shot Sasha storming out followed by Sasha and the boys (Andy & Eric) coming down the stairs into the bar. These guys did a great job and we nailed it in only a few takes. We used the dolly for both set-ups.
Then we weaved the dolly through pool tables and booths for what we like to call- "THE BIG ASS DOLLY SHOT". This dolly shot was very complicated and had a lot of stuff going on in it. We follow "shot man" past "cell phone girls" curve past "dancing folk" to "hot pool girl (Aurelia Scheppers)" to "beer crotch guy (the adorable Tim Asp)" and end on Roach, Gary and Eric. We only did it a few times and I was very pleased with the outcome.
We wrapped just before 2:00 am! We nailed all our dolly shots in this precious window of time.
Our cast & crew were ON tonight. Thanks guys, if it weren't for all the professionalism we wouldn't have gotten done in time.
Thank you to Greg. You are a God. Thanks for the shots :)
After getting the gear loaded, moved & unpacked- I was sound asleep on Chad's couch at 5:30 am.
P.S. Phil- you should've kicked that guy's ass!
