Days 2, 3
11.03.05 (9:09 pm) [edit]
Well, I am plumb tuckered, but suffice to say that Day 2 was a dream of dreams, and Day 3 even better, if that is possible. This whole shoot has been blessed beyond belief. We are, at this point, only owing a couple of scenes tomorrow and we are there. Unbelievable.
Yesterday we shot some very moving stuff in our living room (Terry), kitchen (Pam), driveway, and backyard. SO wierd seeing all the equipment piled up in one's normal living space, and lights and crew everywhere.
Because, for a wonder, it didn't rain, yesterday we shot out the car 'chase' sequence. I had some trouble, for the first time, giving direction, but it got sorted out. And we got some very funny stuff on the melon scene.
Then today, after a horrendous commute in the driving rain and wind, we did the bullet-making scene in my Daddy's shop (I got teary - haven't been in there since he died as far as I can remember), and then shot the handoff scene down by the Tennis Club fence in the rain. Incredible filmmaking by all.
Then we had our hot lunch at 3 as planned, sitting in Mom's dining room, feeding her turkey, and relaxing together, before repairing to the study to watch Bill's excellent movie "Classified", my "Dancing With You", and today's footage, which rocked my WORLD! It looked like film, it looked like "Law and Order". At least to me.
Then Mom politely kicked us out. She had graciously put up with us all day and it was time.
A completely fabulous day.
I am very grateful.
