The Rain Elves

So, today was kind of a hard day. We were scheduled to shoot all of the exterior scenes at the factory in Indy. We had practice shooting with the sun, but I don't think we had practiced with so little cloud cover. Let's just say the sun was winning today.

I think the group morale went down a notch today, too. We were in the hot sun for a good portion of the day, and things just didn't seem to be going as smoothly as they had been. We had to know a bad day was coming, but it was hard to accept. We ended up getting behind schedule and decided to cut some shots.

Then, the ominous clouds we had been seeing since about 2-2:30 decided it was time to make a bad day worse. We had been blessed with wonderful weather the previous two filming days (especially when you think about all of the severe weather and flooding that has been going on in the Midwest). And today was nice until we got that 20 minutes of rain. Luckily, we were able to get most of the important equipment into Steven's van before it started raining very heavy. As a few of us were sitting in the van waiting for the rain to pass, Steven started to worry that some of his equipment was still outside. Betsy told him the Rain Elves were going to steal it. Thus the title of my post was born, and thus I conclude. Time for bed at 7:44. Yeah, I'm that tired.
