10:10am.
Erin-Kate Whitcomb, our star, arrives at IDOM Studios in the Presidio. Evan fills her in on the storyline. Dinah preps her up for her scene. Tony takes on the role of lighting technician. Rick is conspicuously missing.
11:41 am.
Erin-Kate channels Kate Bush and runs up that hill. Then down. Then up again. Then down. We filmed the opening sequence in one or two takes. I wonder if our star stretched before the scene?
11:54 am.
I asked for Sex And The City and I got the following instead. Mike is looking more Alice Cooper than Carrie Bradshaw, and I'm not even going to ask what Rob's motivation was behind his pose.
12:47 pm.
Our leading man, Tom Bruchs, arrives on set a little before noon. Unfortunately, we had to send him back home because we weren't ready for him. Evan explained that we needed to finish Erin-Kate's scenes first, and that we didn't wanted him to just wait around. Tom understood that this was the 48 Hour Film Project and that anything goes. He even offered us the use of his downtown San Francisco loft, which we happily accepted, as Evan and Joanne's bedroom is not photogenic enough for this film. We arranged to meet up with him after 6pm. After Tom took off, Evan filmed scene two with Erin-Kate. Before doing so, however, he had to Windex down his kitchen window. What the heck? Our director cleaning windows? Rick Kemp, where are you...?
12:58 pm.
While helping Dinah pack up her make-up and Erin-Kate's wardrobe to schlep to our next location, the IDOM stylist and I experimented with some new looks. HOT. Hey, be glad that I'm not posting pics of my man cleavage. I think I burned Evan's eyes when I threw those puppies in his face. Too much information?
2:36 pm.
We made it to location #3 a little bit after 2pm. Luckily, it wasn't too far from IDOM Studios. Joanne doesn't have to travel to far to get to work. The third scene of our film takes place in a conference room where Gloria Lorenz, the VP of Global Trading, is giving a presentation on the NAFTA trends of 2007-2009. Exciting topic, no? I put together the PowerPoint slide this morning, and I tried to keep it as dry as possible. The scene went very well, and I'm excited to say that almost every IDOM'er got cameos! While the cameras rolled, Erin-Kate rambled on about nothing while the extras "took notes." Missing from the scene was Joanne, who was operating the PowerPoint slide. Also M.I.A. was Rick. Where the heck is Rick? Paging Dr. Kemp...
4:19 pm.
NEW FLASH! The red-headed chiropractor finally showed up! We were all concerned about the guy, so imagine how relieved we were when he arrived. The guy looked malnourished, so I fed him some leftover pizza from earlier. While Rick chomped on his slice, Evan, Rob, and Dinah headed over to Nob Hill to film a scene with Erin-Kate. The rest of us prepared for our next shoot down in South of Market Area. When Rick finished eating, we all drove to The MotoJava Cafe.
5:21 pm.
Peeping Donn! What a pervert! Check out Evan taking pictures of a nudie girl on a dumpster! This is such a great shot, but our director is actually filming Erin-Kate from behind the dumpster. While Director Donn was getting this shot, Sig and I printed out a copy of the location release for Tom's loft. I had some problems with the printer, so we had to print that document out on 11x14 paper. It was like a poster!
6:57 pm.
We arrived at Tom's loft at about 6:30pm, and what an awesome abode it was. Carin, Tom's girlfriend, was very hospitable and provided us with wine and cheese. What a very kind gesture. We spent a few hours at Tom's place filming the final two scenes. That's all I'm going to say about this because I don't want to give anything away. I will, however, post the following pics...
11:23 pm.
Rob invited a two time fiddling champion to score our film. The problem was that we did not have a rough cut! Nonetheless, the musician showed up, and we gave him an idea of what the mood of our film was so that he could come up with something. He gave us some incredible fiddling, and I sure hope we end up using them. Amazingly enough, we finished the audio recording in 20 minutes. We really had no choice, because we were kicked out of the recording studio at 11:30pm!
And that was IDOM's Saturday! What a long day it was, but I do believe that we have enough material to put this film together. We all agreed to meet back at IDOM Studios in the morning to complete this project. For now, though, it's sleeeeeeeeeeppppy time...
