Two Juliets
Once again I’m sorry this is late. This was the big one. I was a PA for this shoot. On Monday I was unable to make it to the shoot because of conflicts with my other classes but my understanding was that it went pretty well.
I made it to the shoot on Wednesday at Sarah’s apartment. This was the sex scene between the two main characters and it went very well. It was a new...
BMV Heaven
I know this is a bit late but I figured I should still give my input about our shoots. Overall they went very well. Shannon got us access to the Bloomington Bus Depot (she works there) which ended up being a perfect location for the BMV. Our talent was also great. Jeff was hilarious and David was just as funny if not funnier. On the technical side everything went smoothly. We truly had very...
WatchAfter shooting all of the scheduled scenes for “The Pen” spontaneous dancing took over much of the crew. This is only a small portion of the copious amounts of dancing that went on…

Week 4: Geek Love
Back again. Geek Love was on Wednesday this past week and went very well. I directed and Carrie DPed for this project that Shannon wrote and produced. Carrie and I met with Shannon last Saturday at her apartment to see the location and discuss the best way to shoot it. I then wrote a shot list and Carrie and I met to talk about that on Tuesday before the shoot.
Everyone was supposed to meet at...
Week 3: Nature Hike

Most of our talent showed up on time, Keetin was a bit late but everything worked out. Kaleb did a good job directing and Ben did an equally good job DPing. I was audio this week and it was pretty simple. We had a few issues with rustling...

The Rose
So we pretty much wrapped up the Rose last week. Overall everything went well for this PA. The shoot at Grazie! seemed like it went very well despite some talent issues and as we all found out this week, audio problems. On the bright side I saw some of the footage that Ed was capturing yesterday and it looks great. It definitely nails the film noir look of the P.I. film. The shoot in the...
Week 1: Happy Dance
Dear Jim,
The first week of shooting just came to an end for Happy Dance. Our initial shoot on Monday night went smoothly. We met at the production lab and shot the sequences when our dancer is supposed to be at work. Shooting there went pretty well and we had some good talent as the dancer’s boss. I’m gaffer on this particular production and the lighting set-ups were pretty...
