Spring break and the $10 dolly [video link]

I've been tired so I missed covering a few days of shooting. A synopsis:

Last Friday we finished shooting at the garage temporarily. At OSH I found a couple of furniture casters that were grooved so I bought those, screwed them onto an old IKEA Lack table top and ran it on top of PVC pipe: instant dolly. It will get only a few seconds of usable footage at a time but for that it works great. And it cost only $10.

This past week was spring break. We moved to Ben's basement to shoot the green workroom. The schedule went something like this:

Monday: 4 hours-move equipment, dress set, start lighting
Tuesday: 3 hours-more lighting
Wednesday: 3 hours-more lighting
Thursday: 3 hours-shoot
Friday: scout location for shrine scene

You can see the footage so far (including dolly footage) HERE. (Uncorrected, editd in FCP).

Lighting notes:

Garage: Key: omni with ND gel, Fill: omni w/umbrella
Printing room: flourescent over head, doorway: Tota with 2 lt blue gels, aimed at machine: narrow slit from omni
