The weekend of hell etc.

I think Jordan covered the hellishness of this past weekend pretty well. We thought we were clever using foam for the wall. "oh hey it's light and easy to move, and its cheaper!" yeah well, for a reason. and being light means it blows off the roof of your car pretty easily. I think the two scariest moments of the weekend were:

1. when I was sitting in the back of the car and looked up at the sunroof to see the writing on the foam disappear, then immediately looking out the window behind me terrified that I would see a 5 car pile up revolving around a 4x8 piece of foam.
2. spraying textured spray paint into my eyes and coming very close to blinding myself, or becoming 'grandma stone eyes' for the rest of my life.

other scary incidents happened, such as the wall falling apart oh, about ten times. But those weren't life-threatening.

Saturday definitely did go a lot smoother. We were all exhausted but the wall looked good on camera and the newspaper ground worked. Natalie was great and we got some nice shots. So off to a good start, after a weekend of horrible luck. But we did it! And hopefully we'll have something we can be proud of to show for it. 24 hours working on this film this weekend, yes...

So I emailed the script to Sam Swan today, and also attached a couple stills so that he'd also have a visual inspiration for writing his score. Really really excited to see what he comes up with.
