Well, we filmed today. We had a good, long block of time and we actually got quite a lot done--we did most of the work for three sketches. Filming in a public elevator was a bit trying--for some odd reason other people kept wanting to get in.....go figure. But I think it's going to look good--the fisheye lens (Monday's forgotten equipment) really makes the scene look appropriately weird. We did the ATM shoot next (again--too many darned people!). It took a while to work out the logistics of camera placement, and we ended up doing something a bit different than we originally thought, but it came together and we had fun (we got to spray Stella in the face with a squirt bottle and scramble madly on the ground for cash!). We left campus for the automatic windows shoot and used Nick's (very large--I really had to climb in) truck. We managed not to actually cut my head off (yay!) and discovered that corn syrup blood is very goopy and messy. And people on the street look at you funny when you're hanging out of a truck window making weird noises.
We had been talking about perhaps splicing some footage from some other source of an ATM spitting cash, and I found a clip from the first source I could name (I know it's a common routine--I've seen it lots in movies and TV programs, I just couldn't tell you what most of them were, so that's not much help):
There are a few more shooting get-togethers planned before Monday, I shall try to remember to bring a still camera along for the next one so that I can post visuals....
