The sun is a mass of incandecent gas, and it shines too brightly for this hour. Actually, the sun is just right, it is just the fact that I am seeing it so early that haunts me so. We got our first shot off at 5am, which is pretty good all things being equal. As the boom guy, that basically meant that I had most of the night to sleep, wake early have more coffee and than make magic. No easy task. This place is an accoustic nightmare, it has every interior you could ever hope for from office to dungeon but the sound here travels like a yodel in the Grand Canyon. Where it was dark the crew surveyed using eccolocation. "Marco" "polo". It was very effectiive.
I kept quite last night because I wanted to surprise the Mighty Quigley. Ike Quigley is our director, nay our master of all things filmatic. Life under his command is one gleaming sunrise after another, and nothing ever goes wrong. three dollars per word, 25 words total, that plug just earned me a tidy seventy five dollars. Score! Seriously, he's the man. I mentioned our leadership team was without peer and I mean that. Now that we've put a couple of interior locations to bed he has been able to work his magic and prove his worth to those who have not yet had the pleasure of his directorship. (This one's on the house.)

Comming out of last year, our biggest compaint overall was the fact that we had a very strong 15 minute script we had to shoot into a seven minute movie. This year I believe our script will not suffer from that pitfall. Infact, I dare say that our writing team wrote a true to life seven minute acton adventure spy thriller...with seven year old dialogue. Truth be told, the dialogue is actually a series of injokes designed to get the point across and keep things light. This is an action adventure spy thriller after all, words would only take away. But we're keeping the blue key card. That's tres geek! Giving credit where it is due, the side splitting humor could only come from the master himself, the kicker of butt and the taker of minds, Mark Tebault.

One little spoiler I will share with you all. Our film has something that no other film has. Two maguffins! Top that! Ha! and I say once again Ha!

And with that, I am off to record the court room scene. Actually, I am off to grab the best nap space while we wait for our crack team of lighting folks to do thier magic! WooOOOOooOOOOooooEEEEeeeeOOOOooooo!

Coffee. I need coffee.
