At the site



We shot a few days ago for the second round.  Didn't get very far, as Prudence had an allergic reaction to an insect bite.  Life began to imitate the fiction. Thus this became a dress rehearsal. Harriet was very tired.  I was worried about not having makeup, but in fact, I didn't need an artist, as she showed the signs of fatigue naturally.  The walk wasn't long, it may have been the effects of the bite.  She went to the doctor.  It was nothing, but he gave her benedryl.  Have to make sure to bring and actually use the bug spray, and not have it just sit in the car.
Generally, it's important to make sure that the talent won't have problems that would prevent them from coming the next day.  Just go over all things.
Got some great shots by the mansion.  The leica won't do for static or roving shots, but for tracking and follows, it's great.  I didn't check the night lens rig, but at least now I can do some day for night post production tests.

Getting close.  Still finishing conforming the shot list/storyboard to the revisions in the script.  I'm feeling okay about things as of now.  I do want to go back to the site for.  Monday is the last rehearsal.  I really want to work on Chase's accent and voice, and I want to see the whole thing with Leanne off-book.  I haven't had much of a chance to judge her performance.  Ella was pretty tired at the last rehearsal.  It being right before her surgery.
For the makeup I chose a wheel not normally used.  In fact I couldn't find it in stock here in NYC.  Having it shipped from Cali.  Hoping it gets here in time.
Meeting with the makeup artist on Sunday to go over the zombie, the hag, the injuries.  I still have to get a hag, or fairy.  It starts out like a fairy.
Waiting for two corsets.  Bought a lot of corsets at the end of the day.  These things have to fit evidently.  I weathered bonnets, with the exception of the one from England.
Still have to finish with the shot list though.
I'm going to shoot this, and take a break.  Well, at least until I have a money source.  I'm looking forward to working, while finishing 'Ye Arkham'.  Getting cabin fever in the office so much.
