So last weekend my DP who also happened to be my cameraman spontaneously left Syracuse for the weekend to visit his friend at another college. This obviously meant that I had to cancel most of my shooting for last weekend. Since then I have recruited another co-DP so that if one is busy I can still rely on the other.
I did still get some footage from last weekend: B-roll for the party sequence. While the B-roll amounts to no more than 30 seconds, it was important that I get it last weekend during my fraternity’s Halloween party, otherwise I would have had to get very creative. Luckily, I got the shots that I needed.
Moving forward, I’m filming Thursday through Sunday this weekend. I’ve talked to my cast and crew and everyone is onboard and available for at least one or two days this weekend. In an unfortunate coincidence, one of my best buddies from home is coming to visit Syracuse this weekend so I also need to entertain him. That being said, I warned him he’s going to have to watch me film for a few hours while he’s here. I think I should still be able to show him a good time while making progress on my film.
