2nd Day of 4 in Lucidity Production. Half-location day at a local high school. The script calls for a college, but the school looked nice enough to be a college campus. Fortunately, the school was out for the summer just the day before we came and virtually deserted except for few teachers. Loaded up the truck last night and headed to the location by 10. First shot at 12:30. Lunch at 12:45. Half of the production team, including myself, was the background extras in the establishing shot. We walked at least 10 times before the picture. The lights around the school came on by the picture time because the clouds covered the sun and they stayed on eventhough the sun eventually came out. It's gonna look day-for-night shoot to some, wondering they forgot to turn off the lights! Hehehe.

We were constantly fighting for the sun to come out behind the massive clouds. The light change was drastic enough that we once pulled out an HMI to compensate for it. However, we did take pictures whenever the sun came out and it will look fine. 5 shots for 6 hours at the location. Not bad, not bad. Although it was not such adverse condition as we were expecting, but just 5 shots at a location is kinda sucks. The logistic to pull of shots at a given location is far greater than I realized. It actually felt like location, unlike Conv. 27, because we were outside.

Came back to the set by 4 something but didn't unloaded the gears because we are on full day location tomorrow. Took some shots and the day was over. I couldn't believe the day gone by so easily without pulling much weight, figuratively.
