Today we kicked off the first day of production on Women's Studies, which if I may be allowed a brief moment of self-congratulation was a great success.
Don't get me wrong, conditions were less than optimal. The Ningen Manga gremlins indeed showed their ugly faces. We were shorthanded on crew. Lighting conditions weren't the most ideal. (Director of Photography Aaron Shirley commented that he felt like he was shooting underwater.) Yet none of that is what defined the day. In fact, the day was defined by how we overcame the obstacles put in front of us.
Plus, it was just a blast to be shooting on location. This is what all the lead up has been for . . . to get out there and create something.
I'm going to go ahead and let some of the pictures we took speak for the day, but a big shout out to the cast, crew, and extras who showed up and gave 110% today.
Here's to the beginning . . .
DP Aaron Shirley and Camera Operator Thomas Fant set up the jib for "Mary's Reveal."
Sound crew Sean Russell and Kevin Nowak always get the best spots to hang out in.
Director Lonnie Martin and DP Aaron Shirley review a shot on playback.

Congrats kiddies
I'm totally jealous and can't wait to start shooting.
How comes no one asks me to come out anymore? I can hold long poles. :)
I'm sorry I missed it! I will be there for the hookers and cocaine scene though. Please don't say that's been cut.
Woohoo! I get to play tomorrow!
