One Shot

When we first went out there we couldn't figure out how to see out of the eyepiece and had to go back and have someone show us how to do it. Once we got that taken care of we just rehearsed it a few times. I felt like such a douche bag acting like a total idiot in front of the camera. Especially since tons of people will be seeing the video, or at least 16. During the rehearsals Kristen nailed me right in the face almost every time. But in the last rehearsal we decided to switch it up and have me stand in front of the camera and have her hit me in the side of the head. So when we shot it, instead of hitting me squarely in the head as had happened in all of the rehearsals, the ball just grazed my head. It looked like it turned out ok once we watched it but we were seeing it twice as fast as we actually will be. It probably won't look so good once we slow it down. I am glad you told us that we were actually shooting for 56 seconds rather than 28 or we would have really screwed up. Thanks, by the way, for taking those flattering pictures of me ass up on the ground. Now I'll never be able to live it down. Kristen already has it on her myspace so it will live on forever. We had a lot of fun shooting it. I am glad we got a good exposure, thats the most important thing. We got in the back of John's truck and rode around to dry the film. That was probably the most fun part, I know Kristen got a good laugh out of me rolling around in the back of a truck bed. Overall it was a good experience and I hope we can create a good enough soundscape to do it justice.
