I fell asleep last night. I know that seems like a common practice to many people--but I fell asleep at like 10 pm. Even then I'm sure many people find that quite normal--but I'm used to staying up till 3 or 4 am so this was quite odd when I sat down to relax after a day of filming and fell asleep.
I then woke up at 2 am completely confused about where I was, what time it was, and why I was there. After some time I realized I was in Jack's (the director) living room. All was well--got some sleep for another fine day of shooting.
The morning started off with great news--our other C-Stand had arrived. Sam the EP and I went over to pick it up only to discover his apartment's office had it in their position and they weren't opening till 10 am. We decided to get coffee and doughnuts instead.
Later--we did indeed get the C-Stand and were excited to find it had adjustable legs so that it may be safely used on stairs and uneven ground unlike the juggernaut C-Stand we had ordered before.
I was a little concerned about lighting today. I have our camera set to a -3 grain which is supposed to give it a cleaner-black/filmic look. But so much sunlight bleeds into our set (without actually lighting it) that it's a real struggle to get the light levels to match. We even had to do a shot where we dynamically adjust the iris as we film the scene that worked pretty seamlessly but I fear everything will be too dark. (Good luck to the color correctors!!)
But more interesting to some--I did shoot my first nude-shower scene today. Our lead actress didn't act shy at all but I was sure to avert my eyes between takes ;) We kept it calm and professional during the shooting but once the scene was over--naked jokes were rampant. I guess this should be considered a warm-up to the "intimate" scene we've got coming up pretty soon.
Tomorrow we have street scenes in downtown Asheville featuring some romance with our lead and an ex-gangster!
