P2

Project Two is going well, but with about half of the film shot, it is still going. Due to our actors' schedules, it has been difficult to setup nights for filming. Our first night of filming was Saturday from 8:30 PM to 4:00 AM in Fishers. We got nearly all of the outdoor scenes shot, but lighting at night was quite a challenge. For a few establishing shots, I climbed around on the roof of my parents house. When you look up at a roof from the ground, the angle doesn't seem so steep. When you get up there with the loose tiny rocks that make up the shingles, its all pretty much just slipping around and falling toward your desired destination. I didn't die, and the camera survived too. We also shot a scene with a police officer and cruiser. It was a lot of fun. We still have quite a bit of work ahead of us, but the footage looks great. We have really set a nice pace with the filming technique which we can compound with editing. Two more nights of filming, Monday and Tuesday, then we should be done. I look forward to not stressing about filming anything for a few weeks.
