Day 2 of the location shoot came to a close. Some of the same issues as yesterday but that's fine. In the end, we got most of what we needed. The surprise of the day was when we did some voice over takes for wild lines. One of the computer scientists turned out to be quite good. Stunning dramatic reads done cold. Who knew? We wrapped on time and managed to make a 6pm flight instead of the scheduled 10pm one. The only minor hiccup was me leaving my cell phone in the rental car. Luckily I realized it before the shuttle bus left, was able to run back and get it, then make the next shuttle bus.
So now the real fun begins...reviewing footage (I've got 2 dvds of 4-up shots) and doing a paper cut before meeting with the editor next week. No rest for the eyes...
I almost got stuck up there for another day though. Turns out there was a meeting for 11am today and the research group wanted me to stick around. I had plans for tonight though...great plans. Still, when work calls, sometimes you have to answer. I tried to figure out timelines and it could work, would have to take cabs everywhere since I didn't have a rental car. But then I checked my calendar. Aha! 1:45pm appt for my knee MRI. Sorry kids, I'll have to phone it in...
addendum: the meeting ended up being cancelled. If I had stayed up there for a cancelled meeting I would have been quite annoyed. Especially considering what I would have missed...
