Day 3 & 4

Sunday, June 8, 2008 | 3:31 PM

Missed writing yesterday but I guess it's true what they say about your third day being the hardest... and the most tiring.

Both days went great, the machine that is this production just keeps locking in tighter and the speed, efficiency and quality of material we are getting never ceases to amaze me. I wish I could take credit for everything going right with this production but without my team none of this could have happened.

Over the last two days we shot a combined 13 pages of material. I've never shot so much so fast... until what I write about tomorrow when we do 10 pages in one day. I don't know if I'm breaking any world records but this is the quickest I've ever had to move on a set.

John, our editor, has already been rough cutting a few of the simpler sequences for everyone on set to look and and see the quality of their work in near real time. I have to say how much that has helped with keeping everyone's energy up. When you can see all that hard work paying off so well, you just want to push harder and keep making everything as good.

I did have my most nervous moment on Day 3. We shot with Gwen Van Dam, horror movie fans will remember her from John Carpenter's Halloween... she played the nurse going to the asylum with Donald Pleasence. Having someone on set with that much experience and time around great films and filmmakers for the past 30 years was fantastic but humbling at the same time.

On to day 5!
