St. Nick: Lunar Eclipse
Last night was sort of magical. I'd been looking forward to it for the whole shoot. I had written a small part for Mara Lee Miller (aka Bosque Brown) in the film, and last night she came out to set to film it. As she sat on the porch and sang some songs, the wind rustled through the trees and the moon vanished from the sky. Everyone gathered behind the camera. Fairly bewitched. It was an amazing feeling, capturing something like that on film. Or data or whatever.
I rewrote her scene right before we shot it, copying the sides out by hand on the back of scrap paper. I always know I've found good collaborators with when they can read my handwriting and turn it into something wonderful.
