Today we have our last rehearsal with the actors, and we begin principal photography on Friday at Union Park Elementary School. Getting clearance to shoot in a classroom was a bit of a challenge, but we have finally received the "Okay." It looks like everything is ready to go.
Rich Grula has offered to show us around the Expo Soundstage next week. Grady Bishop, our Stunt Coordinator, will attend the meeting down town to get a feel for the space and figure out where to build the fly rig. Grady invited us out to his place to show us how he plans on building the rig, and even hooked up his daughter Danielle as an example:
Aside from the lack of sleep we've all been receiving, things are falling into place quite effortlessly. We have an amazing (accountable) crew lined up, and everyone seems really eager to help out on the project. Our production meeting this past Monday had an impressive turn out, with all but 2 crew members present! Kyle Fasanella has recently decided to allow Reid (our D.P.) to use his Steadicam equipment which we tremendously appreciate. This appeases Georginia and I because it means less dolly set-ups, and Phil is happy with the professional look of nice steadicam shots. It ends up being a win-win for everyone.
In other news, Randy and Lisa have been very helpful in breaking down all of the nitty gritty fine print buried in the entertainment insurance issue. Thankfully we have such a supportive faculty that doesn't mind excessive e-mailing.
Stay tuned!
