This past weekend we had two successful shoot days, Saturday at Boston Beer Works (North Station) and Sunday at BU's Rich Hall lobby. Saturday went particularly well, as we began filming with a fun group scene, allowing a good deal of actors to gather together for the first time since our cast readthrough. It was one of our easiest days of shooting in terms of page count, but one of our most difficult in terms of lighting setups and logistics (our only non-BU location).
Sunday was more challenging as our filming all but took over the Rich Hall lobby, despite torrential rain and plenty of student traffic, which our amazing volunteer crew held back during rehearsals and takes. Shooting on location is always difficult, and losing valuable time between takes for students to swipe in the dorms was a great example problems common to even the most glamorous of film shoots.
On location with us was our photographer Emily Berl, who snapped some amazing shots, many of which appear in this entry and will continue to appear throughout future blogs. She'll be with us every weekend, including this weekend's shoots at the Howard Thurman Center at the George Sherman Union at Boston University.Finally, you may be reading this on our brand new website, and if you aren't, please check it out HERE. It's a work in progress, but we'll continue to update it as we have the blog.
