Thursday night was added to the schedule when our first attempt at capturing the 'walk and talk' scene failed. We convened not far from the location from where we were expelled a couple weeks ago. True guerilla filmmaking was the theme this evening. No grip truck. No lights. No sound. Smaller crew. The scene itself is basic exposition, but we still wanted it to look good visually. The natural sunlight made it both beautiful and difficult to shoot, but I think we came away with something that will work. Anna and Emily, of course, were spot on in their performance. So was Chad as the peeing bum, but I don't know if I'd even call that a performance as much as just a behavior.
After the shoot, several of us coasted to Elsie's for some bowling. My first bowling excursion in 5 years yielded mixed results, but my turkey in the tenth frame left me with a sense of accomplishment I have not felt in many years. Few feats are more impressive than throwing a polished sphere down a greased aisle and obliterating 10 stiff rednecks with a symphonic echo of reverberation. Bowling is fun, too.
I bet a movie about bowling would be cool. Especially if Bill Murray was in it. Maybe someday.

So...is there any technical insight into the production or anything like that? Something a filmmaker might take away from this? This blog is pretty uninformative.
I guess you're right. What do you want to know?
