Day 2 – The Bar and Kent’s Apartment

DAY-2-BAR (CANON-JPG) (SC 120)-15

Garrett O’Brien (DP), Brandon Walter & Kasi Brown set up for a shot with actors Shaina Vorspan and Will Mulligan.

Continuing with the theme of location scouting – the bar was found using the same divide and conquer technique

  1. find a location close to your other locations to keep you on schedule
  2. make sure it fits your script
  3. make sure that it opens later in the day.
  4. make sure they have parking for the truck and street parking for crew cars.
  5. BEG them to allow you to shoot there.

If you cannot afford to ‘shut the place down,’ as we could not, then start shooting at 5am if they open to the public at 12pm.

On this particular day things didn’t quite go as planned however. Our first day cruised by ahead of schedule and on time. Our second day started with a big fat monkey wrench thrown in it as our location rep, aka bartender, over slept. Luckily the owner was able to rouse him when he didn’t answer our phone calls. Five hours later and its a wrap as the bar was opening to the public and we had another location to shoot that day #ambitious #indiefilmmaking!  As with all days on a limited budget, the schedule is always the hardest to overcome.  But all in all – shooting out four locations in two days was nothing to shake a fist at!

Thank you again Nate for letting us shoot at your place! Luckily our cat sized dog #dogsizedcat didn’t tear up the place in a war of ultimate cuteness! Can’t wait to hear more beat-boxing from our actor @J_Hendricks20 check him out – especially at 1:38 when the beatboxing begins!
