Today was, without a doubt, my favorite day of shooting so far. (Yes I know, 3 to pick from, but hey- let me be) What I have learned so far is that even if I don't gain any sort of technical skill (which I don't think Rich would allow me to do) it is the stupid car rides, 20 minute relationships, and duck and covers that make this fun. I must say that riding with Heather, Hossley, and Betsy today was fantastic. Once on set today I got to (as a production person) participate in a little more of the "technical" things. I got to mess up Jeff's shot log thingy and hold a light for awhile. It was fun to see how all that cool stuff works too. I guess today was also emotionally scaring because within a half an hour I started and ended a relationship, and I'm clearly all broken up inside.
Then- as you all know the rain came. As production we were all standing together waiting for the first rain drop or thunder clap- then I felt the first one- but was accused of lying and Heather told me that it was simply Brian, or Betsy spitting on me. Guess what. They were wrong. Moments later we were running equiptment here and there and getting settled in for our baby storm. Overall I am glad to see that we are capeable of getting that "evacuation" compleated before any damage is done. So mad props to our crew and their ability to get their stuff done.
Tomorrow will be interesting because we will face a few new obstacles. A "populated" shooting location, extras, and again the changing sunlight. I have faith in our technical crew in that they will be able to get all this stuff done. Everyone's hands will be used tomorrow and we'll have to be ready for everything- and I know that we are.
Oh- and Did you all know that Shawn was in the musical Newsies? I know right! Ask him about it.

When it came to the spitting, I did nothing of the sort. Betsy said it.
You dirty liar.
I agree our car was amazingly fantastic!
