Second shoot day… “Coal” production continues.  Did I say I was a Red Tech on this shoot?  No, I meant to say I was acting in it…cause apparently thats what the director had in mind when he casted me for “Bruce”…the shady drunken boyfriend character.  Granted Bruce’s character is a very small and minimal role (3 lines), I really panicked when the decision was made cause I had to jump into character and do so fast…fortunately director David Rosefeld knows what he wants and he helped me slip into the mode within a moments notice.  Good thing we were running on the RED drive cause there would be no DIT (me) available to manage 8GB compact flash cards during every other take, those 16GB could not come sooner RED!

The 1st half of the day was brilliant, we shot in the middle of shopping mall right out of the 80s and the local business (chains) were nice enough to give us the location for FREE!  You never know what locations you can pull off so it never hurts to ask.  I cant say the rest of the day was a breeze, in fact things started to fall apart at the seams after the mall and aside some continuity issues which are causing a re-shoot of one scenes, we are going to make up for it.  Got to be able to adapt to Sh@& happening all the time and from my experience, team players help make the world go round on indie films.

Before I crash to bed…good news, the new Zeiss ZF lenses modded and upgraded by Peter Sensor arrived Fedex today and all I can say is wow…thank you Pater!  Review and pics to follow.
