End of Photography*

After getting up at the ungodly hour of 4 am, I loaded up some camera equipment in my car and hurried off to meet up with Rick (DP), Tim (AD) and Joe (AC) to grab our sunrise B-roll shots. Now I'm used to 4 am wake-ups in this business, but the bottle of champagne** that we drank last night as we watched the first day of rushes (and the beer we out for afterwards) didn't make it any easier.

The headache soon cleared, however, and it quickly became apparent that after all the hurried, chaotic action of the movie set, a nice 4 person crew driving around guerilla-style is a pleasant change of pace. We had some fun discovering shots that may or may not work but they really are beautiful to look at in any case.

Following that, Rick and I went back to Filmworker's Club to watch the rest of the rushes and consult on the initial color correction. After a quick viewing of all of the footage, including today's work, I feel pretty safe in saying that we have a movie in there somewhere.

Next stop.....post production.
