music video shoot

Our shoot went really well. Fortunately we were able to find one and a half (1&1/2) days where all four of us could shoot. we started out on the beach on our first half day and it was miserable. the wind was blowing, it was freezing but our actors were so nice even though we made them stand out on the windy rainy beach. this first day i followed the camera around with an umbrella to make sure it was dry.
Thankfully our next day was better. it was not as cold out and we had a lot more time to work on it. we finished up some stuff at the beach and then went to this really cool alley way.
i think the alley stuff is going to be my favorite. but the beach "story" was my idea so i kinda really want to see how it comes together. and then there's the woods!
ah the woods.
tomorrow we're going out to shoot some stuff in the morning at the beach. it's going to be really cool. we shot this over a week ago so i'm already anxious about seeing how it turned out. i hate that part of the waiting game. knowing that the next step is just more waiting. i've never shot on super 8 before but always loved the look of it.
so exhausted, i hope i'm able to wake up in time for tomorrow!
the on-set dynamics of our group worked really well. we didn't know exactly what our locations were going to be like so we made our shot list and some storyboards based on our ideas. mostly we flew by the seats of our pants (?) when it came to shot construction. evan got some great shots and really went to new heights for our project. courtney was great and really thought ahead about what props we would need among other things. morgan, too, brought a lot to the table in this project. she got our actors, was our fearless leader and helped bring everything together.
yea for our project!
