With a Sugar-Free Red Bull by my side
After all my complaining and worrying about this week to start, it is now over. Week 1 of...umm..many went fairly well. Unfortunately we were shooting nights outside and it was really, REALLY cold. I thankfully purchased new ski/snow pants (that happen to be pretty puffy on me) that made it so I didn't even feel the wind, but my face and my hands were cold no matter how many layers I had covering them.
Working with a lot of actors this week was quite a baptism by fire. All four nights at the field we had at least 15 principal actors to deal with. Most of the time I had someone assisting me, but it was still pretty daunting. The hardest part is keeping track of all the actors, plus we had five kids who are in the movie and were there for three nights. Everyone loves to leave their trailer and wander, and with the trailers spread out by a couple blocks, it was very hard to see who was coming and going without losing people. Overall it went smoothly and this coming week we will be shooting all daytime stuff. No more leaving for work at 3pm and getting home by 8am the next day. My head was definitely messed with when I get home from work and people are reading the new newspaper on the train and when I go back to work, they are reading the same paper. The day for me has changed but it is still the same for everyone else. So damn odd.
So the actors have been cool for the most part. The main actor, of all the main actors, has been a tough read. He is a little standoff-ish and egotistical (and a bit of a pain so far) but not terrible. The Irish guy is very cool and approachable and I don't see any problems with him arising. The rest are nice as well and so the only thing that affects the flow of the day is how many of them I have on set.
Oh and if any of you know about the site called “friendster,” one of the actresses has a page. Email me if you want to know which one. I think it is hilarious. She is so into herself and she isn’t much of a star at all. I doubt she knows its there anymore. Very funny indeed.
