The story of a bored individual...

Thought I'd write a little bit about how the filming went.



So that's the exiting world of movie making. Marie thought it was really cool, and I was worried she and her friends would be bored. Hehe.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

It didn't go to well today, at all. 
First note, we were supposed to be done at 22:00, it is now 20:28, and I've been home for at least 30 minutes, if not more.

Day starts out OK, I meet the rest of the group, we get our equipment, and head for our location. On the way Tyrone learns that our main actor has hurt his foot and is at the doctor's, ergo, we can't really do much today. After some discussion we shoot one scene with the other guy at the location, and work out some issues with lighting.
Tyrone, who's our director has to leave us, because he's campaigning to be campus president next year! I mean, what the fuck???? Boy needs to sort out his priorities. By this time our lead is back home, so we head over to his house to shoot what we can, whithout our director. Not really knowing what Tyrone wants here, we just took a chance and shoot what we thought he'd want.
There wasn't much more we could do today so I was on a bus back at 19:00

It's crazy, we've now lost two days. Yesterday's has been moved to monday. The big scene today has been moved to next friday. That Friday is my last day over here when I have to sort out last minute things, plus I have to get up at like 03:00 that night to grab a cab to the airport. Wo-ho! 

I know delays are common, and I'm not blaming the guy for hurting his leg. What annoys me is yesterday and that Tyrone can seem to keep his priorites straight. Had I known he was going to do this stuff I would never have joined his group. I feel sorry for Louisa too, who's our producer, she's working so hard to get everything to fit, and then shit like this happens.

Have tomorrow off, will probably do me good.
Definetly packing what I can tomorrow, by the looks of it, none of my days off next week are safe.

Thought I'd just write a little about my day.

It all went okay, we actually spent most of the day working on Bavhna and Tyrone's piece, while Richard and I just did a runthrough of our thing at the end of the day. So it wasn't too bad.

We're shooting our thing next week, just hope I can hold a straight face. At one point I'm supposed to throw a glass of water at Richard, and he's going to get annoyed. His original line was "What are you doing, this is a expensive suit", but we figured that a guy that want's his uncle dead so he can get rich doesn't really have a suit that nice. So it turned into "What the hell are you doing? That's my favourite top". Which just made me laugh, coz when I hear 'top' I think about those little things girls wear in the summer, though I didn't tell him that, and just asked that it'd be changed to shirt or something like that. Pretty silly little thing actually, but am hoping that it'll get shot next week without too much bother.

 

In other news... got the movie I ordered. "Snatch" double disc DVD, I really like that movie, just so insane, and Brad Pitt does do a good job in it. Looking forward to a quiet break during the weekend where I can watch it, actually haven't seen any of my own DVD's since I arrived. Weird. Don't really find the time for it, should really work with my essay this weekend, next weekend I have to start packing room, so it'll be ready for my trip home.
