Slow...

Things are going slow as far as shooting scenes since Chris Margaritis has been very busy with his day job so I've been shooting pick up shots for various scenes as well as scheduling an upcoming Montauk shoot with Mike (who I've known through Chris since 2008 but had not met til recently). We need to get this scenes out in Montauk as he searches for clues to Paul Kratka's characters death with other members. When we venture out there, we're focusing on Mike's scenes out there and still have to shoot another day out there with Chris. I attemped getting some crane shots yesterday but was missing a screw for the crane so the shots might have not come out - still have to look over the footage. Most of the time I was there, it was sunny which doesn't match the previous shots we filmed but clouds came about an hour later and shot some pick up shots.

Paul is coming out in early September to finished his scenes in the film for "The Militia 15" which is now what the film is called. A lot has changed since we planned to focus the film on Mind Control as it's now mainly about the militia and their quest to inform people of the lies of the government and mainstream media. I want to get some more audio with Paul for the film as well as shots of him actually out at Camp Hero, which we had not gotten due to time issues as he had to leave to go back to California later the day we shot the scenes that we masked as "Montauk".

One issue has been the noise issue at Welwyn - due to the heat, the cicadas are in full force so I've been focusing on shooting scenes that are away from the "compound" in the film so in the next week I should be working with Mike on his scenes. One idea is shooting a scene at his shop where in the back he has this shed and underground area that I'd like to make a scene out of. He sent me pictures via e-mail and I think it would be an interesting scene to shoot for the documentary part of the film (which is shown in Black and White to seperate the film and Chris' documentary in the film) where he talks to the camera about silver and gold, as well as his "hide-out" that he has (Chris' character films all the documentary scenes and shots in the film).;
