The actors in place, lighting being set up around them. I love these two people. Miraculous and talented angels.
Focus-puller/camera-man (loved him) checking out the upcoming shot.
Tail-end of the night. Pick-up shots just for sound, ice in the glass, water running, the click-clack of pool balls in the background. Here’s our fearless talented director playing pool in order to get that sound, and Johnny, the awesome sound guy is standing off-screen with his boom in place over the pool table. In the background is Lonnie, who ran the clapper, calling out shot numbers, and she’s back there checking out the footage we shot. She was awesome, too. Everyone was.
Heartcrack. Everyone working their asses off, doing their specific job, to help bring this thing across.
At the end of the night, the director and I hugged for about a minute straight. He was drenched in sweat. We were proud and happy, after all that conversation, all the planning, all the road-blocks, all the snags, there we were … at 3 o’clock in the morning … we did it!
Great pictures of a momentous occasion!
I love that the director is creating his own sound effects.
The glories of low-budget filmmaking!
Wowie!!!! What a team! How did you survive the excitement?
Jessie – It really was a great team. Very lucky.
I’ve learned a lot – but I’m not sure if I can put it into words yet!

“Low budget” according to who? ;)
DOH.
That text to us about the film with the “cheaper cheaper budget out in Sherman Oaks” was very funny, especially the second “cheaper.”
