A Journey in Productionland

 Today, I finished the filming for my commercial. On Tuesday, I finished my first couple big shots for my commercial. In a "painstaking" process of shooting and shooting, take after take, I got them done. Today, I was able to finish my filming. Knowing well what to do after my first shooting day, I went into this second one with a strange sense of familiarity. I was ready and prepared. I grabbed my sturdy sturdy cameraman friend Eric. I went down to my location for shooting. This was an on location shoot, as was last time. Today, I started with my scenes on the stairs. The first was me walking up the stairs which I was able to get right in one take. It shows me beginning to walk up the stairs, ascending the first 4 or 5 steps. After that, in terms of editing, I plan to cut to me finishing my ascent of the stairs. That shot is looking down at my feet from the top of the stairs as I make it to the top. After that, we got our two final scenes: Me turning the corner, knocking on the "door", and walking in and sitting down, icking my feet up. I got all of those done very quickly. The first took 5 takes, the second took 2, the third and fourth I was able to do in 1 shot. Now, I plan to begin ed


iting.
