After a year of an annoying process called "planning", we've finally commenced our first two days of filming. There were a few bumps along the road, but that happens with anybody just starting out in the biz.
While we had planned to film at Kings Island, some circumstances popped up that made it impossible for us to do so. The major circumstance being that one of the boys we conned persuaded to come with us got kicked out. For a year.
Anyway, the first day of filming was a success regardless of our failed K.I. experiment. We went to the park where the director gave us the entire park to do whatever we pleased. It was the coolest day we've experienced in Middle-Of-Nowhere, Kentucky for 105 days. We were still in the 80s when we filmed, but it was a glorious cool 80s that didn't make me want to slit my wrists.
Although the ominous black clouds heading our way did. But thankfully, it was as if the storm split and went around us, so we got to deal with some pretty awesome overcast-ness, which is a photographer/videographer's dream.
The only downfall to the beautiful day was the wind. The blasted wind. But how can I complain when everything else went so well?
Besides, I'm all "complained" out. The Director got the gist of it, anyway, so I won't bother anyone else with it. Mwahaha.
Oh, and principal photography is finished for the short film!
