Today was a good day, much better than the last few. I’m still sick but getting over it. I had a lot more energy today, probably due to me getting to bed early like my body told me to. We had a good day of shooting today that you can read about here. The footage came out great and we had a fun time. Lots of laughter on set today as I’ll share soon in a quick video (LOOK BELOW). I’m really thankful for everyone sticking with me on this film, it means a lot. After shooting I went to Subway like I do all the time and got my sub. I took the long way home again, probably 10minutes out of my way. I went to Subway in Lewiston so I took the river road way home passing by the water and going through Youngstown, then to Ransomville. It was 82 and humid today so it was a good drive. I enjoy the wind in my hair and the music in my car on a day like today, it’s great. I’ve made it a point to just do random things I enjoy lately before I can’t do them here anymore. What’s wrong with taking a random drive? Nothing
After I got home I ate my sub (obviously) and it was good haha. Getting bored reading the blog yet?
Speaking of which I’ve had like 1500 page loads this month, kinda surprising since the blog is about me. Who the heck cares about what I have to say? Ah well people seem to like it so I’ll keep on posting! After eating I went upstairs to log the footage from today. Logging is where you load all the clips that you shot for the day onto your computer with all the meta data. Meta data is information like Reel Number, Scene, Take, Angle, etc. with each shot you do. I was a bit lazy with it today, logging things in large chunks because I didn’t feel like waiting. I’ve done that lately, I just didn’t have the energy to spend 2 hours or so logging 80 minutes of footage only to have to wait another 80 to have it actually go back and capture what I logged…no thanks. I was too tired and bored to wait for that although I still had to wait 80 minutes for it to rewind and load…meh. Either way the footage came out great as you can see in the images at the bottom of the post. Comment if you like them!
I talked to some friends on Facebook, did some e-blasts, invited folks to some of our groups on Facebook and stuff, etc. I also talked to a good friend of mine, Chris Staron. He’s such a great guy, very warm and easy to talk to. Very caring about what’s going on with people which I admire. I had the pleasure of hanging with him during the SAICFF last year. Him and his brother Nick have a new film releasing in mid may called Bringing Up Bobby. Take it from me, this film is good. I’ve seen it many times over and will be doing a DVD Review & Film Review soon before their release so be sure to keep an eye on the Praise Pictures site for that!
That’s about all I did today, tomorrow I’ll be shooting by myself with my mom on boom…now there’s an adventure! Tis the life of an indie filmmaker… Luckily we have little to shoot, or else tomorrow could’ve been ugly. Pray for a good day! Till next time…
