2/24/09 Day 2 of shooting the Building 429 video for “Always”

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

This morning came extremely early since I didn’t get to bed till about 1a.m. prepping for the next day.  I had to get up at about 6a.m. and get to home depot.  I was building a “rain rig” for the last scene of the day, I had used a similar rain rig on the Barlow girl music video and it worked really well.   Then I met at location 1 with 2 gallons of coffee in hand for the cast and crew.  Location 1 was at another friends house that we set dressed to look really trashed and unkept.  We shot at this location till a little after lunch and then packed up and headed to location 2.  Location 2 was an outdoor scene near the venue 12th and Porter.  It was here that I hit a snag that I thought might ruin my final shots of the day.  I had set up access to someones water supply via some hose and my rain rig.  When I got to the location I found out that I would not be able to use the water supply after all.  I had to quickly get on the phone with landscaping companies and mobile car detailers (who often carry large quantities of water in their trucks)  I finally got a mobile detailer named Roscoe Jones at A-1 Mobile Detailing (hire him) he does mobile detailing and pressure washing.  He came to the rescue and stayed from about 4p.m. till we finished at about 11p.m.  I didn’t get to use my rain rig, but I think his nozzle settings worked well on his pressure wash.  All in all, I think the day was a success and we wrapped the shoot at about 11p.m.  I got home at around 12:30 after cleaning up and breaking down.  I believe the video will look great when it is all said and done.  Check out the photos on my photo page to see some shots from the day.
