Sunday

today we went back to mt. vernon for shooting. it was quite a productive day i guess, until the weather turned on us.

sholleh, andrea and i met early in the morning again to set-up our field camp, and betty went to fetch the cast and crew. when aloysious came we quickly reshot some of the running scenes, and on that day we completed quite a number of scenes. jeremy, aloysious' brother and our classmate, came over to help us, along with sure-li, a freshmen from another course.

it seemed as if the day would be a good one for us, but in the end at about 3pm, the rain started to fall, and we had to call off the shoot. at first it came as a very slight, short drizzle, and so we decided to start again once it had let up. but withing a few minutes it came again, this time much heavier and longer, and we were barely able to keep the camera in time. luckily this time we had a lot more help, and we rushed all the equipment, including the tracks and the heavy dolly itself, to a nearby empty funeral parlour house.

in the end, quite a bit of the day was wasted, more than 3 hours, in fact, that could have been spent shooting. i guess outdoor shoots will always be like this.
