We started our 18-day shoot of our Christmas comedy called "Nutmeg and Mistletoe."
I decided I would just hit the record button, usually at the end of each day, with my thoughts what was happening that day? What I learned, and generally what being on set for 12 hours a day is like.
It is quite unfiltered and unedited (with the occasional beep) - hope you enjoy being backstage!
In this episode: Leaving Santa Clarita Studios (thanks Mike!), being a "small" budget movie, union tradeoffs, packing up instantly, showing the misfits for the first time, hair and makeup, using standins (the "seconds"), running late and cuts, everyone pulling in different directions, a little B-cam to fix extras that were too old, reenacting a scene from the previous night, kids looking the wrong way, first blue screen (https://www.instagram.com/p/DUSPT_nDW8E/), "gallery" for the model shoot and movie posters (15 mins!), avoiding stalkers.
