Production Blog: Makeup Day

 Today was a rush hour as preparations for video editing began. The first speed bump we encountered was that we had forgotten some very important clips before diving into video editing. At first, we thought we could do without them but decided that it was impossible to complete the whole production without them. The first hurdle was filling our free time slots. I had to distribute mine between SAT study, whereas Nat had job responsibilities to deal with. It took some time, but we got through it eventually. After somehow managing to clear our after-school schedules, we were all set to shoot the last batch of scenes at my place. Thanks to Benjamin who said he would drive us down, it was easier. These weren't major production-value moments, but they were important in showing the wreck. We finished shooting late in the afternoon and had to clean up afterward. Certainly a lot of work was called for in making my place presentable for the next day as well. When all the equipment had finally been put away, Ben dropped us off, and I felt torn between two extremes: exhilaration and exhaustion. And tomorrow we finally begin the editing process to see how the pieces fit together. I can't wait to see the finished product!
