Shooting Recap

So, we've shot a bunch of scenes already, and I think its going pretty well. I definitely would say that the Rich Hall entrance scene was the most complicated, if only because of the constant in and out of random students. Pshh, who did they think they were, trying to get in to where they live?! Anyway, my spine almost collapsed several times from all those bags, but we did get the shots we needed.

The meeting room scene was fun to shoot, doing the between the legs talking thing, and trying hard not to play with all the stretchy balloons on the floor.

The Shelton Hall scenes have been my favorite so far, though I think. Major props to the art department for keeping it interesting and/or ridiculous with all the posters and stuff (Chris, the Skeleton board thing was pretty hilarious). So between spilling beer in some guys room, painfully having to teach Danielle how to smoke and bringing a stripper in, I'd say it's a good thing there were no real RA's around where we were filming! On the serious side, though, I think we got some really good shots, and that the scenes have been going pretty well.

It's really interesting when I watch TV now, though. I keep seeing the shows from different angles and wondering how many different takes certain shots take. You kind of take for granted some of the really long takes some shows do, especially if there is a lot of moving around. I've got a new respect for the continuity people who have to make sure EVERYTHING is where/what it should be.

Well, we are all hoping Marie gets better as we move closer to the end of filming, and that everything continues to go well!
