Shoot was a success

Yesterday I shot my thesis in Rego Park(queens). The shoot was a big success. There were many obstacles that came along in shooting. So here is a quick list of the pros and cons of my shoot yesterday. In shooting this project I have learned that there are many difficulties that can arise throught out shooting. Not knowing your shots is probably the most time consuming problem you can occur. I was glad that I was prepared and knew what I wanted. I had each shot listed as well as a clear idea on the different angles I needed as well as wanted to have. The major problems that occurred on the set yesterday were uncontrollable. The day before the shoot, one of my actors called and told me that they would be unable to make it. I immediately had to find a replacement. The next issue was that it was very cold outside, and which became very hard for my actress to handle. The next problem was the weather changed from bright and sunny to somewhat cloudy. Towards the very end of the shoot, we were faced with getting the final shots in the midst of snow flurries. With the uncontrollable issues arising, I was glad that I had spent time, preparing for the shoot. I had tremendous amount of help and friends who gave there support.


Special thanks to Alison, Antonella, Chris, Elaine, Tracey, and Walter for being the best cast, crew, and supporters throughout the shoot.

I look forward to having a rough edit up next week.
