Twins, Puppies, and 3 hours of sleep

So on Sunday we had our prop set up at Eric's house. A select few of us showed up and were able to partake in the cutest puppy, the wrapping of 1 box and 2 suitcases full of bottles, and wrapping up the day with a little rock session. It was a ton of fun to get everything done and then be able to relax and rock out. Some of our crew members have some pretty amazing skills on the guitars and drums.

Today we had our first filming with the Jib at Eric's house. We had a fun time loading up all of our cars with equipment and driving the 4 minutes to Eric's house. unloading the Jib and figuring out how to set it up was the first major task. We were able to run around and get everything set up pretty quickly. For having new equipment on set I was shocked at just how smoothly things went. I was happy that I got to use the Jib for the first time today and had a blast doing it. I know that the guys pushing and pulling on the dolly did an amazing job because with all that weight and limited mobility it is not as easy as it looks and I don't think I could have done with as much grace as they did.

We had our baby on set today and minus a few little cryings here and there she did a great job. I was surprised at just how relaxed and easy she was at us moving her around all over the place and having a like 10 sets of lights and eyes on her. So I thought that this was rather a success. All of our actors were very easy going and great to work with.

Overall we may not have gotten done everything we wanted but I still think the day was a great success. It's funny what a lack of sleep will do to you.

And Sam and I just so happened to want to be twins today and wore the exact same outfit. You see what being on the same crew does to you. Pictures soon to come.

And one last note. I made a universal email address for our group. It's: freewall08@gmail.com, I made it so we could have one and also I needed one for our kodak gallery, which uses the same address. I will be emailing out passwords so everyone has access.

Keep up the good work everyone! We have to hang in there, this is going to be a long week!
