Production Diary #1
Who said filming was easy? They were lying bastards, whoever they were. If anyone has ever been fooling enough to say that in the first place...
Filming has started on "People Like Us". It wasn't without hiccups, though. The first day was supposed to be Saturday the 2nd. I woke up that morning to an email from Jessica, saying she had had an allergic reaction to some food she'd had the night before. She was swollen and very sick. So, we had to cancel filming that day. That meant rescheduling her scenes, which isn't particularly hard to do. It's just extra work, but it's doable. Jessica was worried that her place in the film would be in danger, but there's no way she's going anywhere. She's way too perfect for the role. So, after a couple hours of bouncing emails with people, we got everything rescheduled that we needed.
Filming actually started on Sunday the 3rd with James Barry and Clay Dzygun. It went extremely well. We didn't film till the evening, so I spend the entire morning and afternoon waiting for the phone call or email telling me there was a problem and we couldn't film, but it didn't happen. In fact, filming went off without any problems whatsoever. I like it when that happens.
James and Clay make a great couple. The first scene we shot brought some very pleasant surprises. I've lived with this script for so long that it's kind of difficult to bring something to a scene that I haven't thought of, but the two of them hit a dynamic during the scene that had never occurred to me. It was really refreshing to watch them interact in a new way. It makes me very excited to see what else they'll come up with throughout filming.
PRODUCTION STILL: Matt (James Barry) and Rick (Clay Dzygun) relax after a long day.
Our next filming day isn't until Tuesday the 12th. It's a long day with Rachel and Jessica. I'll be back either Wednesday or Thursday with another report. Stay tuned!
