MOVIE SHOOT 2

We went back to Lake Lanier yesterday for the movie shoot. They had to do some more scenes. It was hot outside but wayyyy cooler & less humid than last weekend. I sat in the shade for most of the day so it was pleasant. Brando broke his leash so we had to improvise & tie the broken string to his collar (had to keep the same leash for continuity purposes.)

*Brief film dictionary lesson*
Continuity is extremely extremely important in film. It's the consistency of everything in the movie, particularly warbrobe, props, scenery, everything. Say if Brad Pitt was wearing a red shirt, tan pants & holding a fruit bowl in a scene. If they had to reshoot the scene he'd have to wear the same exact thing. Even have the same hair style & everything. If they were to edit & one moment Brad's saying something, he turns around & he has on a blue shirt, white pants, & a fruit plate then you'd be like, hold up, what? That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't flow.

There's lots of continuity errors in lots of films. Pay close attention next time you watch a movie. Maybe you'll catch one

But anyhoos, back to the movie shoot. So Brando was all in the movie today. He had lots of scenes with them. The cast had to shoot every scene numerous times just to make sure they got the perfect shot. Actor & everyone did very well from what I could see.

*Rewind to 3:30pm when we were getting ready to go to the shoot*
So how about I packed all of Brando's stuff (food bowl, toys, puppy pads in case he throws up cuz he gets motion sickness & etc.) I put his rope toy on the roof so I could load the rest of the stuff in the car & we drove off & I didn't remember it till we almost hit the highway. lol. We had to stop by Target & get him a new toy.

On our way home he slept like a baby sprawled across my lap. He was soooo done. We got home, fed him, he ate & went straight back to sleep. Me & Actor made some burgers & I went to sleep cuz I had an early morning today. And guess what? As soon as I pulled out of my drive way & drove off I saw Brando's rope toy in the middle of the street. Was gonna stop & get it but was running late for work so figured I'd get it on my way home if it's still there... Anyhoos, enjoy ze pix.
