You cats rock my world, you know that? Every nutty scene and circumstance I've thrown at you, you've responded with professionalism and talent, and even when we're running behind - and I know, seems like we're always running behind - the mood is happy and pleasant and everything that I hope a set can be. We're doing an incredibly difficult thing with the Steven/Syvlie scenes, which is essentially, shooting five movies at once...but none of you have been anything but completely enthusiastic. Thanks.

Yesterday was probably our smoothest day yet all around, with everyone pitching in to get the job done, performances on mark, and the technical stuff turning out better than expected. Next week will bring principal photography to a close, and while I'll be sad to break up the production, you've already given me amazing gifts of your time and new memories. But first...we have to get through Saturday. :)

Saturday will be THE monster day of production, with massive technical and emotional challenges. We start off with the scene in Sylvie's car, move onto the decoupage scene (the requirements of which I will be discussing with Lorie and Demetriss tomorrow), spend time on the emotionally harrowing kitchen breakup scene, and then climax the day with the first bedroom scene in Sylvie's apartment (with wonderful mobiles! High score on the groovy thank-o-meter to Rachael for providing a lovely one last week, and more are absolutely welcomed). Then Sunday, we finish the photography with the scene in Lacy's car, which may be shot back in Franklin, depending on whether or not we need a second lane for certain shots. As always, more details as the week goes by.

Now, as has become our little tradition, a glimpse of the footage from yesterday's shoot:





Your Captain Sunburn,
