St. Nick: Day Two
I've kept my copy of Bresson's Notes On The Cinematographer around the production offices (where I'm sleeping every night) and open it at random every night to read for a bit, just to clear my head. Tonight I turned to a page that contains the answer to the question everyone keeps asking:
Shooting. You will not know till much later if your film is worth the mountain range of effort it is costing you.
Nonetheless, I feel very happy, and I hope it's unfounded. I get a little giddy thinking about all the footage waiting for me already that I'm too lazy to start cutting together now. And while it's without a doubt a heck of a lot of work, we're all having an equal if not greater amount of fun. Making stuff up and goofing off and shooting things that feels right. We'll just see what happens.
A scant few snapshots from yesterday and today:
Okay, I'm collapsing now. Reading Bresson, by the way, is the perfect chaser to a day on set.

Great to see that B-camera in action. I put a special mojo charm on it before shipping it to James, in hopes that you should get some great footage with it.
