Saturday Oct 13
5 hours filming
we spent half the day recording the outside scenes. Things took much longer than i expected. There are at least 5-10 takes of each shot. At times, I got a very worried. My actors are good, but taking direction wasn't their strong suit at times.  I am pretty sure, with all that I have, that I will  be able to have a decent product. I have actors who are good sports and don't mind the work so that helps me tremendously.

I did have some scheduling issues with my actors however. We did not finish all of the script due to time restraints (the ending is not done). But we are scheduled to record this saturday to complete and reshoot anything I need.

Logging and transferring footage took FOREVER. I spent my morning organizing what I shot on saturday.
I was initially scheduled to shoot this day but I couldn't get the girls together.

Tuesday Oct 16
4.5 hours filming
I went through hell to make it happen, but we filmed tuesday evening. We didn't get started until about 5 and again, these scenes took a long time to get through. I wish we would have gotten more, but I had to be patient with my actors (especially the younger one b/c she didn't seem to understand all of my direction.

*my biggest issue with the scheduling is that I have to pick my actors up from 2 different sides of the city (cramming them both + my dog and myself into my 2-seater... fun) and their personal schedules took away from filming time.
