The old saying "the third time's a charm" fell a little short today, but instead of dwelling on the list of negatives for day 3, I'll keep this positive.
As 3:00 p.m. rolled around, 9 hours past initial crew call, it seemed enthusiasm levels were dropping. In addition, a canopy of clouds started to cover our shooting location. It was only a few minutes until the initial hit of thunder could be heard, then a single raindrop, followed by several more. With no time to prepare, here came the pouring rain. Instead of chaos and confusion, every crew member took part in a 5 minute fire drill if you will, packing all of our gear in the truck.
So despite falling behind schedule, a valuable lesson was learned today. Don't trust the weather.
Also:
any new info on crew member shirts?
and does anyone own a packable tailgating canopy you see at Football games? This would provide cover for the camera, monitor and audio equipment if this situation should happen again.
