So I’m pouring over weather reports for most of Missouri, and they all seem to have one common thread. The early end of Winter. And none of them show anything lower than 40 degrees through the end of the month. Damn you Puxatawny Phil! Grrrrrrrrr! I know people are going to hate me for this, but I need snow!
As much as I’m looking forward to Saturday, and shooting with Julian and Clark, I can’t help but feel a little anxious. I’m scouring through the winter script, and pouring over the shot list, trying to figure out exactly what we can get shot this weekend, while we still have snow on the ground. Also trying to figure out what might need to be changed to interior shots. What, if anything, can be faked; which I hate, because fake snow looks like fake snow to me….
So much to do, so little time. Karen and I discuss options for shooting all of the exterior scenes.
It’s frustrating. I can do a lot of things, but I can’t make it snow.
I know Julien is enthusiastic. I can only hope that he’s prepared to shoot like a mad man this weekend. I’d like to knock out three sequences on Saturday. Maybe four. And that the weather folks are wrong and we get a good heavy snow sometime in the near future. Don’t hate me for this, but, fingers crossed!
And shoot like a like a MAD MAN HE DID!!!!!!! Thank you Julian & Clark.
And we can not leave out Mandy! Clark’s mom who ever said don’t let the parents on the set
well they have never met Mandy! She knows right when to set up and help and when to just sit and watch. Most of the time you never know that she has stepped in to help! She is amazing. And we have to say thank you to Walt & Mandy for letting us invade their home it’s not a small thing and Grandma P. for the wonderful dinner! They are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.
