what’s up blog. I got all of my filming done yesterday, but I don’t have the actual footage yet. I just wanted to come on here and give everybody an update as to what’s going on. So yesterday I filmed, we got there at like 530 and we left it like had to be 8 some thing . here’s a picture of the finalized cast.

so everybody came at the beginning except for sussman I told sussman he could come later because I wanted to get his shot when it was darker and it was gonna be the last thing that we recorded. so the agreement that I had with my Director at the theater company would be that I can go but it kind of sucks because all of the kids were on the stage. I really wanted to get some of the shots of leading up to the stage I want to use cool lighting with the light booth with my friend andrea, but the kids were doing choreography on the stage so there was no way that I was going to be able to get them off. That caused another big problem as well. The script is 100% vulgar, and is already R rated or at least PG-13 in that opening scene. The fact that there were kids all around meant that we had to be very very discreet about cursing, about scanty costumes, and about the drug use. We were able to get around that, I just had to tell lemon to tone it down a couple of times. 

not being able to use the stage definitely got me upset and definitely slow down the process. I felt kind of bad because it was like an hour before we had even used justin or Geo, so I try to get them in as soon as we are finished the scene with me in the dressing room. That was the first thing I’ll be there I just wanted to make sure that that’s what we did because it called for the set to be dressed. also as soon as we realize that we couldn’t use that stage all of the shots kind of had to be tweaked, but it was figured out. there’s these two doors in the loading dock that could definitely open to a stage the way that the door on the side opens up to a stage . If I had the film right now I would definitely be showing you said doors, but I don’t. I’ll probably update my blog post after so if you see it then know that it’s edited. It took a while really figuring out how we could do it but it 100% works and it’s pretty much the same concept, it just would’ve looked a lot more believable if we could’ve done it with the stage. There would’ve been really nice shots of me getting on the stage, or of the reactions of the other band mates seeing me get on stage. also because of having to tweak and fix and make sure that everything could be filmed yesterday, I really did not get any behind-the-scenes footage which I’m upset about. I’ll ask any of my buddies if they got some of the stuff but I’m pretty sure the only things that I will have from shooting are going to be the actual videos. However everything got done, now I just have to figure out how I’m going to edit, the song, fix audio errors, and figure out the font.
