Seriously, is Parker even in this movie? Another night without any acting for me. I guess I did give lines off-camera, but that's just not the same. Anna left us early tonight when she fell ill. I'm amazed she came in the first place and I'm sorry she had to drive home feeling the way she felt. I give her props for making the effort to come to set at all.
With Anna gone, one scene that involved her, Emily, Gary, Natalie, and me had to be shot over two days. We shot Gary and Natalie's side tonight and will shoot Emily's, Anna's, and my side the next night. Ah, the magic of movies. Last night we got little inserts for a scene shot 10 days earlier; tonight and tomorrow night we will shoot different angles of the same scene. When the movie's all edited, the audience will never know how they were shot. At least that's the hope.
We spent time in the basement again tonight picking up some POV stuff for Anna's character. We were interrupted twice by the civil defense sirens. No tornado found us, but we were pelted (well, not us literally) by quarter size hail. Dings and dents on our cars and branches down in the yard, but we were all safe and the shoot was only minimally affected. I felt pretty safe in a house that has been standing for more than 150 years. I'm sure she's seen her share of storms and she has weathered them well over the years.
I can't believe we're already more than half way done with our week down in Hastings. I also can't believe I'm typing this as if it really is June 22. When I publish this post I will change the date to give the illusion I stayed on top of this blog during the shoot when in reality I'm typing this (and the previous 3 posts) July 7. Not sure if I'll keep going today or if I'll get back to editing. Only I will ever know...
