VII

New year, a new scene! We've been on hiatus since the last entry, as school schedules tended to be too big of an enemy for our meager production. We shot with Bernie today, the scene where Murph and Petey get assigned to crash the costume party undercover. It was long, but it was worth it. We wasted a lot of time on a track shot that couldn't be pulled off in the limited amount of space we had, and it took a while for Bernie to get her lines down. It was all good though, everything came out awesome. We had a nice little chunch of improv when we found a flask sitting on one of the shelves in the office.

We've got a cool production workflow going as well, where we gear up and shoot the scenes together, I upload the tapes to the computer, and then I transfer the files to justin, who edits the scenes and sends them back to me once they are ready to proof watch and then ready them for effects or to be integrated back into the film. This allows me to keep my digital organization system intact, while allowing Justin to edit the scenes without me having to show him what to do with everything, and I don't have to worry about editing and digital effects. It's pretty good.

I went through max's tapes looking for one of our missing ones.. no luck. Kid has like a million tapes.
