Wednesday

during the past 2 days, we were in the editing room, putting together a few day's worth of footage. but today, it's back to shooting. by now everything seemed quite normal. betty would go pick up the cast and the rest of us would arrive at mt. vernon earlier to set up the tent and all other stuff. today, however, due to the addition of two new members to the cast, some changes were made.

we couldn't shoot so early today, as aloysious had gymnastics training, so for today the plan was that andrea, JY and I arrive early to set up, and after everything was emptied from the van i left to pick aloysious up while the 2 of them continued.

betty arrived shortly afterwards with hazel and two other casts. they were the birds that we would be using for the shoot. although it wasn't in our original script, we added it in after a late night discussion on the day before our first shoot as the main piece to connect our montages together. originally the idea seemed stupid, but after awhile no one could come up with something better, so we went ahead with it (one of our alternatives would be to use a rabbit instead of a bird).

but we didn't shoot the birds today, but tomorrow instead. today we did the rest of our montages instead. not as productive as sunday, but at least it didn't rain.
