Surreal...

Today was interesting. First time shooting in over a week due to scheduling and weather issues, and we shot down at the bay / beach area at Welwyn Preserve and got some really awesome footage. At first it was sunny and since I wanted to set the mood with a cloudy day, it was aggravating. At one point while cleaning out the 35mm adapter, a screw came loose and fell onto the floor and Chris and myself spent a good five minutes trying to find it. We eventually got everything set up and this dark patch of clouds came over us. It was surreal, as if it were a dream. You could only dream up these type of cloud formations and colors. The water was this dark color but also had light patches to it. We shot a sequence of Chris picking up rocks at the beach and throwing them into the water, scenic shots, as well as standing and sitting around looking out into the ocean.

Tomorrrow we play on finishing up the Vietnam sequences for "The Project" in where Chris' character is in Vietnam all alone and is going insane. This is for a sequence in the film that touches on a war that was fought years ago with no winner. Might be shooting a paramedic / stretcher scene on Friday in Port Washington if all goes planned to tie in a scene where Chris' character goes crazy from too much research and awakening to the truth a little too quickly.

It was originally planned to have a bodybag for the Kratka death scene, but it evolved to that. Also, since we can't shoot in a hospital room, might just fake it against a white wall.
