Rain, Concussions, and Pickups, Oh My!

Despite weather issues, the show went on this weekend, and actually, the rain really added to the aesthetic of the scenes. We shot the first half of our fight scene and the rest of our warehouse stuff; all in all, it went very well. The more our cast and crew work together, the more seamless a day of production seems to go.

Craziest story of production so far: the villain in the film, who's scene we shot Friday night, was hit by a car Friday morning. Although she suffered a mild concussion, her doctor gave her the go ahead to shoot a fight scene. Maybe not such a great doctor. She was a trooper and went through multiple takes of martial arts sequences-IN THE RAIN-but could only take so much after a certain point. Our night was cut short by a few hours, but her health and safety took absolute priority over finishing the scene. Yay for pickups!

This weekend went SO well! We shot all day Sunday and got so much accomplished and managed to have a really good time as well. I'm pleased with the way the day went and how the footage came out. We shot most of the warehouse scene where the main character of the film is being interrogated. This coming weekend is our big fight scene and the rest of the warehouse stuff. Can't wait!






Attached are some behind the scenes photos from what we shot this weekend.

Welcome!

To everyone reading, welcome to my blog. This will be a great way to journal the production of my senior film, "Yamek Dire." Thankfully, it's a requirement to post which means I'll be able to look back and read this someday when I'm a big-time filmmaker and laugh at all the details that make me want to scream right now!

That's it for now. Thanks for reading. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
