Int:
Oh, you know where I’m at.  The same damn kitchen, sitting at the same damn computer….

There’s something strange about finishing editing all this snowy footage together in a week where we are having heat warnings.  After hours and hours and hours of work, the rough cut of segment 4, Winter, is finished.  Can you guess what the rough cut run time is?

It will be trimmed down a bit, hopefully to about the 35 minute mark.  I’m afraid it will feel long, but honestly, I won’t know until we screen if for the crew, and start getting some brutally honest feedback.  What I do know is, there won’t be any pickup shots needed.

So now, there’s only two items that remain.  The pickup shots for this weekend.  Roughly 15 shots.  Just enough to make a day of it.  Then three shots for the intro, which equals about a day of running and shooting.

I can honestly say I’m exhausted, and a little worked up, and even a little nervous about this weekend.  So much to do… one day to do it.  It’s going to be a long day… but apparently a fairly nice one.  85 degrees is the forecast.  A nice break from the 90+ degree days we’ve been having.  I know the Summer cast is rip roaring and ready to go, and Karen has been busting ass for the last three weeks getting every detail sorted, in between running around getting the intro shots done.

Speaking of the intro shots, we actually shot the very first shot of the movie Saturday evening.  Funny that it would be so close to last.  So a huge shout out to our intro shot cast members Arron, Hannah, John, Kayli, Liz and last but not least Greg.  Thank you all for showing up and shooting in the dark, and thank you even more for nailing it in 4 takes!

Don’t worry, there’s still plenty more to do, and plenty more to talk about.  And I do mean plenty…
