Oh yes.. the tarps are definitely part of the scene.
14 hour day for me.. 12 hour day for my actors.
Fortunately I had a friend willing to come in and play the part of the mob boss for me on such short notice.
Unfortunately about 4 hours into this shoot, while filming a vehicle scene I lost all of my storyboards
I will make a photocopy next time and have a backup.. one of my actors had to leave at 9pm, but he stayed until 10 anyway. I was rushing a lot at the end, didnt get to use as much blood as I wanted, and without storyboards it got a little messed up. I know I missed a couple of reaction shots I wanted, so I'm slightly concerned about the editing but I will make it work. I know I don't want to have to redress that set to do it all again!
Also while doing this, I was told by one of my actors that the first movie was leaked. I showed it to this friend because he was out of state.. I figured that wouldn't affect the premiere. now all of my friends have already seen it. Worked on that for like 6 months and I was really looking forward to seeing an audiences reaction to my work. That experience has been stolen from me
I guess I can't help being sensitive to these things, it really brought me down. I wasn't even happy when we wrapped for the day.. I was so thrilled the last time when production finished. I swear this film making is really taking a toll on my friendships. getting me pissed off and disappointed at a lot of people
