3rd Day of 4 in Lucidity Production. Full location day here we go. Fortunately, the weather was fine through out the day, contrary to weather forcast. We went to downtown Orlando, shot near an alley next to a small bar. The cops came and went observing us, and we were constantly on our toes to observe 5 feet firelane rule and cleared the path for any pedestrian. Even parking enforcers came thrice to check upon our parking permits for the truck. During all that hassle, the DP and the camera crew shot films away.

I personally know the director Pat and the DP Ron, and just as I expected, Ron pretty much ran the production. Pat was there, but compare to Ron... Pat just called action and cuts. It was quite unlike Conv. 27 sets where Tom was butting heads with nearly everyone to get his vision/will across. He was an auteur, indeed. I'm not sure which way is more definitive directorial approach, but it offered interesting contrast to ponder. I guess it really doesn't matter as long as the story comes across from the screen as the director intended it...

We had pizzas for the dinner and it attracted quite a crowd, meaning homeless people. Since the pizzas were terrible, no offense to our craftservice, but it's the lowest priced pizza he could get that we had many leftovers that were freely given away. Our star actress, Chantal took upon herself during the freetime to distribute the pizzas to near by homeless people. The homeless also took great interest in our production that I, Leo, and Adrian were on guard to distance them from the shooting. They didn't cause any trouble, fortunately, but it was an element I didn't consider until they began to show up.

We finished the alley location on time, actually 5 minutes early, but we had troubles on next location. First of all, the ladders were not stable enough to support big 35mm camera. I couldn't believe they were planning to use just ladders, but they told me they did it previously, so no argument from me there. So we had to sit around and wait for scaffolds to arrive which took it's sweet time for the grip turck to go and get back. Although there were only 4 shots, it took 6 hours, left the location by 2 am. Everyone was tired and feeling not good. Triple overtime, extending next day call time to 1pm.

I still have no answer to what's PC's job... At least guys appreciate my moral and physical support for the production. I'm surprised not many from Conv. 27 shown up to help out. I must admit I'm here because of my official position, I think I would slack off too, if I was just nothing but PA.
