Monday we did a little reshoot for a certain film named Funemployment. Cramped quarters were shared to get the shot and sound positioned right. I had a bit of an issue getting out of the unit, though didn’t have much of a problem getting in somehow.   Christine was on the scene running the camera, while Roxanne McDanel did makeup duties, she also flipped the light switch during the scene. Shayla Begir and Adam Duncan(not pictured) were in the scene. I was busy handling the sound, it went alright except it was a little cramped when Christine and myself crawled…

The Rocket Brothers shoot was awesome, mostly because it started in the afternoon (which is always awesome) and ended on time (also awesome.) Just kidding… What made it awesome was the people, cast and crew. The band was the nicest bunch of folks I’d met in awhile, and the crew was in high spirits like usual.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I don’t believe in accidents. I’m a firm believer of the rule, “everything happens for a reason.” If you go through a breakup, there’s a reason, if you get fired from your job, there’s a reason, if you bump into one of your kindergarten classmates from 40 years ago, there’s a reason…..you get the idea.

There’s the spider I created for the Valentine’s Day animation laying next to my keyboard. I want to frame him because he turned out so well but have yet to buy a tiny frame. His legs pop off pretty easily too…

On Monday Christine, Kellie, and myself went through all the stuff Christine has accumulated since the creation of Moth to Flame. This photo was taken when we took a break to have dinner among all the equipment. We spent a decent amount of time just putting the Moth to Flame name on items. After long days on sets you can forget if extension cords and chargers are your’s or belong to the location owner. Also when the majority of your equipment is black it tends to blend in with other people’s equipment that also tends to be black. The rest…
