Today was a Sunday so obviously I was getting up for church. I arose at 9am ready to start the day but alas, no clothes to wear. I’ve been rotating shirts for 2 weeks now, I run out of clothes QUICK. Luckily I found a nice new dress shirt in my closet I don’t think I’ve worn before and put it with the suit and outfit from the wedding yesterday…instant snazziness. 
I taped the service as usual. This was my 2nd to last time filming Pastor Billy. Over 230 sermons later, my time is almost over. I’ve taped every service besides 2 or 3 since April 30th, 2006 (Pastor Billy’s first sermon at NFBC). Two more to tape (a guest next week), and his last one I’ll do on the 17th. It’ll be bittersweet I’m sure but I’m glad to be rid of it. Time to move on, and leave the Media Ministry to thrive on its own steam
Brad & Jen
When church was ending I ran a little ways up the aisle to get some shots of people in pews I need for the film. They give you funny looks (who wouldn’t) when they have a camera near them. I wasn’t really pointing at any of them, but using their bodies as pillars I guess you could say. I was shooting through them zoomed in on others across the sanctuary. I got a shot or two I think I can use…thank goodness. I only have a few to get it right!
I went out to eat with Jen & Brad after church. We went to the Brickyard (my favorite place to eat as of late) and we had a great time. They are such awesome friends, and I’m jealous of them haha. They love each other so much. It’s all over their faces, in every glance and smirk. I’m always staring at them and they always catch me doing so, haha. I can’t help it…it’s just too cool to watch them interact. I tease Brad every once in a while when his wedding day is. They are PB&J, and they know it! 
After that I took my the long way home again, enjoying the drive and the weather along the river. I’ll miss that drive I think, although I may find another I enjoy even more! After I got home I worked on our edit a little bit and called Kevin to come and meet. I sorta edited with him sitting next to me and we actually got some good stuff done. I get motivated when Kevin is around so I’m glad he was there. I probably got more done with him just sitting there and me commentating than I have in a long time by myself. After he left I got even more done tightening up some edits and getting some scene transitions done. Later came the big one, when I got an email from Bill Ebel (editor of Fireproof) with a new edit of a scene I had been waiting for. It had been a long time since I had heard from him so I wasn’t sure what was going on. I was relieved to get the email. He explained he was overloaded which I figured so that was no problem. The scene was good and I did some tweaking and some color correction and other things to get it more refined. After that I tackled some audio problems. That scene worried me a lot but surprisingly I pulled a rabbit out of the hat and smoothed it out pretty well I think. I didn’t know I could do that LOL…and it was one of the scenes I was worried about the most. Woo! I’m glad to have that behind me. The scene isn’t done by any means, it needs lots more work, but the worry for it is pretty much gone.
Well that’s about it, 3 days of shooting this week coming up. The way things worked out it’ll be Tuesday here at my house with Aaron for a scene he has alone, Rob by himself again on Wednesday, and lots of people on Thursday in our last huge day. Beyond this week we’ll have 2 small things to do at Kevin’s house and the day at Dave Giffords that got rained out. Many more days (as always) then we thought or planned for but hey…you can’t control the weather OR people schedules. It’ll be fine. Also Tuesday will be a day we start tackling ADR. Aaron ironically will be the first to give it a real try. That is funny since he is normally the last one shot, the hardest to schedule, etc. I hope we get all of his stuff done that day in a few hours. He doesn’t have a lot, just a few lines. Here’s hoping! What a great week it’ll be if we knock all that out of the park!
