Filming Day 1

Today, we went to Markham Park and Aitana's garage to film! Originally, we were supposed to go to Weston Regional rather than the garage, but mother nature has pushed her beautiful rain towards us, so we had to work around it.

I also rented the equipment today from BECON-TV and Jim Gurasci. He was awesome, and gave me rundowns on how to work the Sony DSLR, Lights, Microphones, and tripod I rented. The training took about an hour, but then Darian and I were off to Markham Park.

The actors were great. I met Danny for the first time, and he came prepared with multiple costumes and props. He was prepared and ready to work like a true professional. Aitana was also ready and able to turn the emotion of the character on and off in an instant, which proved to be helpful when the bikers road by.

We took some production photos at the front of the mountain bike trails. There was awesome lightning and great foliage for backgrounds. We started filming a little later than expected, but we still got some awesome footage- even extra shots!

I got quite a few bug bites, but it was worth it! First day of filming was a success!
