Back from a really long but fun day of shooting. We actually got behind a teeny bit with the first of the three numbers, because unlike the other stuff we've done, this one involved basically two people and a lot of action, which we had to break down into many shots. So, we wrapped that one a half hour late, but then sort of caught up with the second number, but then got slightly behind again with the third number, mostly because the camera place had said they'd fully charged all the batteries when, in fact, they were all half-charged. So, we lost about twenty minutes dealing with constant charging and battery changes towards the end of the day. We felt just a little bit of pressure because the dweeb who own the studio didn't ever think, well, what if they need to go a little later. So, he wanted and needed to lock up at four-thirty sharp - had we not been pressured like that at the end, it would have been much nicer. These jernts are usually booked until six or even eight in the evening, but apparently this was the only day this week they weren't. But, still, they should know to leave at least an hour of pad at the end of a session. We actually wrapped the final number around 4:10, only ten minutes late, but then had to put the studio back the way we found it, which took the other twenty minutes. Then we shot Matt Ashford's set-up scene, which only took a half-hour and then we had to dump all the sound and footage onto our backup drive and that took close to an hour, so I had to cancel on going to see Annie tonight. Better that way, I think. I would have probably liked just about twenty more minutes to do a handful more shots on the final number, but we really did get plenty of footage, which will give the editor plenty of choices.
