Last Night...

Last night's shooting went very well...all things considered. One of our lead actresses was sick and unable to be on set. If that wasn't enough one of our supporting cast members (who had some lines) became ill while on set so we had an interesting start to our evening. We had to shoot "around" where our actress would have been. We always had to frame our shots so some one was blocking where she would have been sitting had she been there. We'll have to come back and do some pick-ups so that when the scene is edited, it'll look like she was there all the time and we just chose not to show her all the time. It's complicated.

I had three Monsters last night, they're essential on night shoots. We had burgers, fries and coleslaw for "lunch", and fish and fries for "dinner". Due to rain we had today off, but we're back tomorrow working from three to three again.

I got a few pictures which are below. Most were taken while it was still light outside. I'll take more tomorrow.

Monster...handy on day shoots, vital on night shoots.
