Multiple takes

I saw Ben yesterday. With his beard shaved off he looks like a little kid! Now that we're basically done with the red room it's on to the last big scene: THE BIRD SCENE.... I'm still thinking of alternate ways to do it. I realized that my strategy in doing things is linear rather than horizontal. This means that it's generally hard for me to shoot something two different ways. I usually believe that there's only one way to go forward and if that doesn't work, I'll try another. It's hard to get performance value when I shoot something two different ways at the same time because one of the takes will get short-shrifted.
