Scene 24, Take 11.

The three words "That's a wrap" marked the end of four incredible days and my first experience working on the set of a legitimate film production. Not that all of my posts' titles need explanation, but the reason this entry is titled what it is... I'll tell you. Scene 24, which was supposed to be done in ten minutes, but because the director jinxed us all by voicing that aloud, took 11 takes and almost two hours to film. And it was an outdoor scene that depended on the sun for illumination and the longer it took, the more daylight we burned. Anyway, I'm telling this way out of order.

I was the Slater for an independent short film that was then called "Delinquent Duty" but has since been renamed "Chasing Cane". It was directed by Roy Ford, a SHSU alum, and it was sooo fun and an incredible learning experience. Before this, I never would've thought that 12 minutes of film could take 4 whole days to shoot!! We filmed at six different locations: The Woodlands Chamber of Commerce, Coffee Expressions, Lake Conroe, a really nice house in The Woodlands, and some warehouse in Conroe. It was nice to watch all the action from behind the scenes and to learn how everything was done and put together. And it was really nice to be super busy on the weekends!! I met some awesome people and learned some really valuable stuff.
