So Thursday was way easier because as I mentioned, we had already set everything up and replanned many things.
However, we were also filming with other people this day which is difficult to coordinate. We also had one person who I guess knew the game of blackjack a little better than us and tried convincing us to refilm an entire scene for it to be more accurate haha. However, we did not, as it was not super important to the purpose of this film.
We had a lot of fun with our friends shooting this, they helped us out tons by being actors and not being too offended by my stressed director comments... oops!
One big issue we had was still lightning, on Wednesday we had been blessed with gray skies, however on Thursday the sun was gleaming through the windows in an orange glow, and considering we were working with just the red light this made my life so hard Thankfully, our friend Ceph was able to help me figure out the best ISO and aperture settings to make do, and it turned our pretty okay, but it's definitly my least favorite shot.
On this day we also had an epiphany that we needed something leading up to the casino scene, and that we didn't really want to start off with that. And that formed, filming day 3.
On Friday, we took a lot of sequential shots representing his character while waking up and heading out. we only used a few of the shots we took that day but it made a HUGE difference. I had started editing Thursday night with what we had but once I added the stuff from today I loved it so much more.
