Day 5- Clare and Tony, please don't tear your farm down.

         Last night was the best, most efficient shoot thus far.  Everything went so smoothly and every shot we ended up with looks so, so good.  I wish the entire short could have as much texture as we picked up just last night.  The factory scene might come close, but nothing really compares to this.  Somebody upstairs must have wanted us to get our shots because the rain stopped virtually as we were on our way to the farm and didn't start again until we had just enough to complete the scene.  We arrived around 7:30 and started setting up the lanterns and by around midnight we had significant portions featuring myself and Victoria.  In a perfect world, i.e. if we had a budget, we would stay another night and get more because the farm is so expansive and rich.  But alas, we all have to work tomorrow and my credit card is still smoldering from all the activity this weekend, so I guess we're little indie filmmakers after all.  Really, though, what we got looks flippin' sweet.  But you don't have to take my word for it.  Observe:

So lush.  What other short film looks so beautiful?  Come on, domestic and foreign film festivals, you know you want to let us in.

Andrew.
