(Non)Production Day

Production Day (whoops)

Imagine you are ready to do something, but you can’t because you don’t have everything needed. This happened to me today, when I was at the filming location, setting up the place, and when I was almost ready, ready to tie up Maverick to the chair. I realized that I had not thought of what kind of ropes I was going to use to tie him, or where was I going to get them from. I almost panicked because the sun was not going to stay still, and the sundown was really close. I rushed home, and looked for ropes, but I couldn’t find any, and for the time that I had solved it, it was already dark, and I was not able to shoot.

I guess this happened to me as a lecture for being a big postponer, but maybe, just maybe, it was a signal from heaven, telling me to shot another day, since there were some cars parked that were making it very difficult for me to find a good place to shoot, and the spot I ended up choosing, was not perfect. Also, because today is Sunday, and like I’m shooting this scenes at a church, it was a little bit full of cars and people…

Preparation

Like I was not able to shoot today, I’m going to shoot tomorrow, but this time, I’m going to have every little thing planned out, and I’ll be really careful with the details…

First of all, the tings that I’ll have to bring with me are:

• A chair that doesn’t look fancy
• ROPES
• Makeup (I’m going to do the costume design at my house, but I’ll bring the makeup as a backup, and to retouch)
• Ketchup, marmalade, and hot sauce (to simulate blood)
• Lights
• Microphones
• Tripod
• Formal clothing (for villain)
• Knife
• Props (watch, ring)

Also, to avoid repeating my mistakes, I’m going to start with the costume design at around 4:30 pm, to have at least 1 hour and 30 minutes to be ready, and not being late, and avoid to end up shooting without sunlight.

Everything already collected, so tomorrow I don't forget anything.

This blog has come to an end, but if everything go as planned, hopefully, tomorrow I can successfully shoot, and hopefully I don’t forget anything this time… Anyways, this blog came to an end, but catch you guys in the next post!!
