I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell - July 22, 2008

Well, for the first time in the history of this blog, Nils beat me to the punch on a post. Good for him!

It is now the second day of shooting, and I am in video village waiting for a set-up for the third scene of the day. There is so much going on, so much to making a movie that you just don't get until you show up on set. I still don't even know the names of 80% of the crew, nor could I tell you exactly what most of them do. Don't get me wrong--they all have jobs, it's just that I can't figure them out until they are explained to me.

There is so much to write here, but I just don't have time, because, you know, I'm producing a movie and all. Just the mini-little creative decisions--there are hundreds a day. It's an ordered chaos. Sort of like working in a really busy restaurant; completely confusing and nonsensical until you learn it, then it makes total sense and you can see the logic. I'm not used to it yet.

Here are like 250+ pics of the first day. You can't tell anything about the plot or whatever from these pics, they are just to give you an idea about what the set looks like and shit like that.

I have an idea--if you aren't a movie person (like me) but want to know what the pics are of or what something is or anything like that, link the pic in the discussion thread and ask your question and my assistant Greg will answer them. He went to film school and knows a lot more about sets than I do.
