So, lets see...

Whats new?
Well, last weekend we went to shoot in an old abandoned mill up in Eden, NC.  We spent 12 hours there on both Saturday and Sunday.  Lets just say it wasn't the best time.  Paint flaking off everything, (walls, ceiling, pillars), Dirt everywhere, trash scattered about, random puddles of water and oil around some of the rooms. And to help it all, it was rather cold those days to, no electricity in the building so no heat.  Would probably had been not so bad if they actually had me do something but as 2nd AD im not really finding myself doing anything, and as props master they call me maybe once every 2-3hrs to bring them something. so most the time I'm just sitting there.

Then this past week nothing new really happened, just the usual stuff. I directed another episode of the news, first take alot of things went wrong but our second take was almost perfect, so lil bit of editing and it should look halfway decent.

And then we have this weekend.  the Producer and the 1st Assistant Director are not going to be here for the shoots this weekend, Friday and Sunday, so im doing the 1st Assistant Directors job. Just had to call a few commands and stay on set the entire time, which wouldn't be so bad if the set wasn't in a small dorm room; so it gets very hot with all the lighting we have to bring in.  But we got through it last night, took us 7hrs.  This is the first Saturday I've had off from the movie.  Tomorrow we have another shoot in the schools warehouse, I'm calling the commands again but this shouldn't be so bad because we have more room this time.

I can't believe that the semester is almost over, seems like it just started... kinda

Well thats all here

'till next time
