Still and Self Storage
Yesterday we shot a promotional video for "Still" at my house. The middle of the day, the A/C off, the grumbles of empty, coffee-rinsed stomachs--all added up to what I feel as an intense amount of focus. The interviews turned out great though I think Mr. Supe and myself come across almost too serious.
After Mr. Supe left (lunch + continued rewrites dialogue) I hopped back in my car to do some shopping for today's Self Storage photo shoot. I needed full flashback costumes for Maxine and Guy characters for an old photograph in the office scene that opens the film. My excitement is mounting. I love the pressure.
Though, I still have frustrations.
See--this is the realities of my job:
1. Drive the Whittier, put $30 women's boots on reserve at Melrose
2. Drive to Fullerton and buy men's boots at American Vintage (on sale, PTL) and loafers at Buffalo Exchange.
3. Drive back to Melrose to buy women's boots and tiny orange shorts for the Ramon character
4. Saturday morning, go to estate sales and purchase a pair of shoes for 50 cents that could have worked just as well as the women's boots
Fact: you live and you learn and you move on with life
There is no use in beating yourself up about these things.
Today's shoot went well, btu it took too long. I didn't mind. I stayed behind at the production center and achieved my year-long dream of talking to the Writer for hours. Now I can die.
Days until shooting: 6
Costumes left to get: 25%
