We had another good day of shooting this past weekend. Thanks to Sarah and Nick and the crew Gina, Steve and Mike. They all did a great job.![]()
Everything went really well especially considering some of the challenges we faced. The biggest of course was noise. There was quite a bit of traffic and construction noise during the first scene. But nothing of course tops what happened at the third location. A parade.
Yes, there we were, about to get off the second take of our master when around the corner comes hundreds of people yelling and chanting. It seems that UNforTaiwan.org was staging a parade to support their cause and I had inadvertently chosen a street corner on their route. At first we tried to wait it out but it was an impressive effort that went on for a while. Then we tried to change a bit of the dialog to use the parade. Its not clear if that will work. I'll know more when I assemble the scene. In the end we did what we could as quickly as we could and moved on.
