So I’m looking at the forecast, again and again and again.
Our 40% chance of rain, jump to 60% and now sits at 70% for Saturday. And 40% for Sunday.
Not feeling very witty at the moment. Just hoping that low pressure system stalls out or shifts, even if only for a couple of hours.
There’s an hourly breakdown of chance of precipitation:
6 am 60%
7 am 70%
8 am 70%
9 am 50%
10 am 40%
11 am 40%
12 pm 40%
and that’s as far as they go hourly… Maybe we’ll luck out and after noon the chance will drop to 30 or 20%.
So the question at this exact moment is, do we go and try and shoot, maybe squeeze a take in during a lull, knowing full well that it will be a lot of sitting around, and waiting for the weather to be right? Do we just scrub the shooting day? I am hating every minute of this. And knowing we had perfect weather last weekend only makes this worse.
The rational side of me says, “If it rains, take the weekend and go get prepped for segment 3. It’s just one weekend…” The emotional side of me screams “Screw that. Get segment 2 done.”
Update
Something may actually go right. The chances of rain have dropped back to 40% for Saturday…YAY!
This production isn’t cursed. But when you shoot out in the open like Summer is, you’re at the mercy of Mother Nature. Sometimes she cooperates sometimes not. I’m sure Summer will turn out pretty damn good.
Also, I go to the neurologist Fri to see just where I stand with recovery. How well I’m healing, how long recovery will be, what I can and can not do (if that changes), etc….Last week was a bitch, but generally only take my pain meds only twice a day. Instead of the usual 4 times. So, that’s a plus. At this time I don’t plan on doing any projects, other than this, IF you still want/need me to be in it. After having talked to Karen the last few times, I don’t see why I couldn’t. So, keep your chin up. This is movie making. The same way that built Hollywood to where it is today. And, quite frankly, I’ve seen a lot of low budget movies that are way better than anything from Hollywood. Just look at Paranormal Activity! Hell this could be the next PA!! Wouldn’t that be the shit? 🙂
