Day Three
This day was much more exhausting as we worked for 14 hours - which lasted 'til 10:40. After such a warm Monday, it was amazing how quickly the weather changed to wind and even SNOW!!! The sound, grip, and electric were the only ones outside in the wind and random snow flurries while everyone else was either in the warm cabin or next to a heater. Finally, we brought one of the propane heaters outside so we didn't have to freeze to death. The best part about today was being able to shoot a daytime scene during the middle of the night. We had lighting instruments at each window and even put up a 4K and 12x12 Ultra Bounce screen to make the whole cabin light up. Inside, no one could tell that it was black outside. I love being a part of this film to see the different possibilities that are available in filming. Who would guess what all goes into the creation of a movie unless they have been a part of a film crew. In all actuality, only a select few really knows all that goes into it. Actually, it is impossible to really know unless they have worked all aspects. So much work goes into a project - and I am so glad to be a part of it and help as much as I can.

Stagehands have astonishing learning curves. It's not unusual for stage crews to have trucks full of unknown scenery arrive at a theatre on Monday, which we need to assemble and understand to open a show we've never seen before... on Tuesday night.
Most people, if confronted with such a task, would flatly say it was impossible.
Stagehands find ways to make it possible. We learn quickly, we draw upon years of experience, skills and training, and (all too often) we drink lots of coffee and work all night.
I've had one longstanding handicap in my career as a stagehand. I don't drink coffee.
