Live-Blogging from Day 2....

9:47 pm - We are now on the last shot of the day...after that's finished, Day 2 will be in the books! Day 3 begins tomorrow bright and early again...I'm not sure if there will be live-blogging capabilities there, but if there will, you best believe I will be posting all day again.

This will be my last post of tonight, so...until tomorrow morning (hopefully)....adios and thanks for reading!

8:55 pm
- So the outdoor shot was just filmed...but not without a carful of giggling girls who drove by and squealed with glee when they saw a movie being filmed in the front yard...they screamed "OMG WHAT'S THIS??!!" and also "Can we be in your movie??!!" None of us really paid attention, so they finally drove off but not before circling back around again for another drive-by.

Jimmy Freeman, data wrangler extraordinaire, has been sitting at his little makeshift desk in the living room doing the quick edits from yesterday and today...and from what I've seen it all looks amazing. These cameras take great video footage, and I think this movie is going to look really incredible on the big screen. I hope it's not my movie-making naiveté showing, but this looks really impressive so far.

8:20 pm - BIG (well, small) things just took place...here we were, arranging for an outdoor shoot, when all of a sudden a friend of someone who lives here showed up with...this:

Just TRY to not get all fuzzy inside when you look at this little guy (or girl?). Aww.

8:08 pm - they're moving things outside for an exterior shot...sounds like an opportunity for some footage!

7:12 pm - Wow it's already 7? It feels like 4 pm....I haven't personally done a lot of my behind-the-scenes stuff today that doesn't involve a computer. I had planned to interview Miguel since he's leaving after tomorrow, but the location we are filming at today is too small to really get a quiet enough place to conduct the interview. So we're going to do it tomorrow morning since we are filming at a larger place with more quiet nooks. Today has gone pretty quickly, so far.

5:51 PM - They just finished a scene with Gerry (Jorge Diaz) and Miguel (Miguel Angel) in the living room. The A/C was turned off again for sound reasons, and it's sweltering in this house...but that's a reality when you shoot in June.

It's 4:26 pm, and we just had some lunch...pasta and bread provided by Sandra, Gus's wife...they're still filming some interior scenes at "Gerry's house", and we're holed up here in the living room, blogging (obviously) and doing other tech-savvy things such as starting a Twitter account for the movie...which you can follow by clicking here!

Stay tuned for more posts in a couple of hours or so....
