1st of 4 days of the production. Since all the heavy works were done in pre-light/blocking day, I was expecting light workload with just flipping on the switches. I was wrong. The first half of the day went well. The first shot was taken on 11am, when the call time was on 9 am. Got 4-5 shots/one scene knocked down before the lunch. Good progress.

The meals get production going, nothing else. Not everyone carries the same torch for the script, the shoot, and the film. It's only a movie.

Began to slowly down on difficult shots. The DP is checking light meters for at least good half hour before any shot is taken. Add 20 minutes in rehersals, you have one shot per an hour, in average.

I'm proud of my staging area, my lighting setup, and power distrobution. Justin, my Keygrip, is big help. We got things done.

I'm actually glad that I didn't get director's position because I'm learning a lot more on technical sides of film production. I see how the lighting affects a scene, and how my power distro can affect safety. I had a Tenner smoking due to a bad pin and spent good deal of half hour checking out all power supply, virtually shutting down the production for an hour. Not good, but no one got hurt. I finally know why you need good gaffer, and gaffer's power to enhance/hinder a production. Spent extra times loading up for the location shoot tomorrow. Went to Walmart after the shoot to purchase black garbage bags for rain/window covers. It's raining since 2 am till the following morning...
