3D Shoot


In short, that's what the film shoot felt like. Our schedules did not sink up well at all, which complicated everything to a point of lunacy, which in turn helped the skittering nature of our 3D quasi-narrative. I showed up early to help get the set together, then group members wanted to move the shoot to a day that was previously a time conflict but now was not, however we then had to worry about what days each group would either have the SLR cameras or be using the black box, then we vacillated from saying we're going to shoot on Sunday to Monday to Friday (the day we were originally supposed to shoot) and so on all while trying to coordinate with Michelle on the phone during odd moments she could talk at work and sending Andre panicked emails (actually just one panicked email), then we decide to just shoot it on Friday even though we had only a brief moment where Michelle gets off from work and I have to go to work and that gets stretched out because Michelle's shift relief is late, etc, etc. Weirdly awesome chaos fox from Antichrist speaks the truth.  All things said, the actual filming of the 3D was incredibly fun. Something about donning a cardboard robot suit makes you realize how ridiculous it is to stress out about a film where you are wearing a cardboard robot suit. The birthing scene with Michelle is my favorite, I kind of wish we could have shown the dialogue for that. The robot talk worked better for the Sci-Fi concept but lines like "I am very mad at you, you make my blood pressure go crazy, yah yah yah, I am yelling at you!" are pretty damn funny in their own right.
