I'm not counting the days anymore. It's too confusing and probably not even accurate.
So rumor has it that Hooper and his class saw the footage and had a pretty positive response to it. That's a huge deal for me personally, because Hooper shot a really great Indian movie, Satya. In my head I've made this complicated connection as to why him liking the footage is such a big deal. It makes sense to me.
Of course now, the pressure is on for us to not only re-create last weekend, but surpass it in terms of quality and efficiency. We need to do a few re-shoots, and there are a couple of aspects of the performances I need to hammer out with my actors. The initial response is good, and I think it can either go really up or really down from here. I'm hoping it will be the former, and with this crew, I'm pretty sure it will be. Nothings written in stone, however, to use a really banal expression. I'm still preparing for the worst situations possible. I'm glad that we've shifted both shoots to noon, because not only do we not have to deal with early mornings, but we'll get more time in the dark too. There are huge windows behind the staircase, and if it's daylight outside, well, it's hard to create the illusion of a late night party. Also, we decided we'll have to dub a lot of the sound over. That means that I don't have to flip out so much when there's noise on set. That's somewhat relieving.
In local news, I just bombed my history midterm. I wrote this really cool sounding sentence about how Teddy Roosevelt's policies were different from his 'post-war predecessors.' Cool phrase, huh? Too bad WWI happened after Roosevelt. Although, as Krissy points out, I didn't indicate WHICH war. I could have very well been referring to the Civil War. It's a thin argument, but he should give me the points anyway for the cool alliteration. Oh, and also, Anna Nicole Smith?! This, among other events, have made today one of the strangest days in a very long time.
Stay tuned tomorrow for pre-shoot jitters!
