I’m exhausted. Bear with me. So much has already happened in the last 2 days that it deserves a real solid summary.

Unfortunately, that summary won’t come from me today. Too tired, and too much yet to do before bed. In brief, however, we had a full day of prep yesterday. This proved to be invaluable to everyone. By the time we go to set at 5 AM (yes, a 5 AM call time on the first day of shooting to get the sunrise!), we were decently prepared. The heat got to unbearable levels today out in our battlefield, but fortunately there was nice cool river nearby. I’m not a “let’s go swim in the ‘crick’ type guy”, but man… it felt good to go in there.

We took close to 5 Gigs worth of photos in the first two days so far. That I know of anyway. We did 24 setups on our first day. We have 26 tomorrow. We’ve shot two complete scenes, out of 11. Those may not be very impressive numbers, but that seems on par for the productions I work on.

David Lawlor is amazing as Garin and he BROUGHT it. He was so raw, so dead looking, so exhausted (as his character should have been), that there were REAL vultures circling over him. That’s not a joke. I wish it was.

Anyway, I’ll do my best to post as we shoot. After the shoot’s over, I’ll be back to being able to communicate like a proper human again.

Pics to come as well
