That's a wrap

We started at 8am and wrapped at 6pm... 2 hours early. YAY

The day went so well. I was kinda scared about the number or actors and one shot scenes we had but it went soooooooooo smoothly, mainly thanks to our amazing team. There is a 1page and a half scene where we have 7 actors and probably 7 backgrounds and everybody is moving around and the camera follows them one after the other... And it was just perfect. Everybody was great and we ended up with a very good looking shot. I have to say we were once again spoiled with our actors, seriously spoiled. They were all fantastic.

The "meteor" looked AWESOME, the smoke, the lime, it made it look so real. Bless the guy who invented paper mâché...

We have one more scene to shoot on the 4th of November, the Alien scene at Wendy's studio and then we'll have everything. Can't wait to direct Sarah-Jane.

Anyway, got tons of cleaning to do. We'll do that tomorrow. Can't wait to see the pics and the dailies...

- We should have a first rough cut of SMS this week end...
- We'll rewrite the 3rd act of "Jesus Nut's" this week cause Bill is reading it on Monday.
- We'll rewrite Smile Of April to have a descent first draft and present it to a couple of persons that might end up producing it... or at least helping us producing it.
- I soooooo wanna shoot "In his head", but because the concept is similar to SMS, we have to rewrite it and shoot it a different way. We wanna try the One shot concept. 6 or 7 pages in one shot ( we might cheat a bit lol). It's gonna be so hard for the light and directing and set ups (there are time cuts so it means we'll have to change set dec, switch actors and wardrobe, while on a close up on the main character...) So exciting.
- We have to rest a bit but we say that every time we shoot and two days after we get bored. So I guess I'll post again it two days to see what we're up to.

Off to take a shower.
