  We busted out umbrellas and got everyone to hold them over the lights while I filmed and took sound in the car.

8.3.00 - 9:50pm

Well, 4 shots down, a lot to go. We shot the time lapse cookout tonight. I got about 13 people have even though they have never all seemed to be in the shot at once. Oh well, it was still tight. We had 2 grills going, one was in the foreground. The smoky effect was really cool when the footage was sped up. Last night we did the phone/push up dialogue, we got some really cool shots even though we may have been a little over the top.

Anyways, we're getting pictures in the Chapel Hill News and Chapel Hill Herald as well as possibly a feature on WRAL-TV. Sweet. Tomorrow's shoot was canceled because of an actor with exams. Sucks. Saturday's might also be canceled because Matt Knight is taking back the camera. Maybe we can shoot Sunday. I'm pretty happy now with running the show totally.

8.4.00 - 12:15pm

Well, filming is off for today and tomorrow, just can't get the cameras. I had lunch at Sutton's and wrote the shooting schedule for the next week. Christ. It requires morning and night shoots for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

Then night shoots for Wednesday...
