Shoot
I arrived at the
location
for my 9am calltime at 8:40am, early enough to visit the nearby Carl's Jr. for their restroom.
The crew began showing up just before 9am; I met writer/director
Yiğit Kalyoncu and 1st A.D.
Angela Liu.
Once inside they started setting up, which, as often the case in regular films
(particularly a location, in this case a working store),
the talent calltime was way early; it took them quite a while to get set up.
We didn't even get into
make-up
until after 10am.
Always nice to see a family face: also cast, as a store customer, was
Thomas Callahan
with whom I worked on the two
CSUN projects
a few months earlier.
While I was there until I was wrapped
(around 4pm),
there was really only two bits for which I was needed.
The last shot was my checking on some piping in the back
(with a few lens changes, so that shot should have some variety),
and the first shot of the day, when Kristen Bell look-alike
(certainly when she smiled),
Becca Cousineau
and I went back to set, apart from some lens changes
(understandably focusing on her),
I may be seen briefly in profile and the back of my head, as the store clerk; while it was clear I'd be in the dolly shot, there didn't seem to have much coverage shots.
Used at some point was a prop head, comically resembling a young Walter Koenig during his
Star Trek
TOS days.
During lunch I spoke with
Christopher Cruz
who I was pleased to learn is someone quite Awake
(as well as a fellow
Doctor Who
viewer and
MST3K
fan, et al).
We were told the screening would be September 14th; it should be a fascinating finished product.
