Shoot Day Five

A few people gave me flack about speaking harshly about my old extras for the insurance party scene. I wanna apologize for speaking ill especially when I found out that the odor I mistook for them in which I referred to as embalming fluid was one of the grips aftershave.

I saw the dailies again and preliminary cut of one of the scenes. Julia’s performance was so moving we all cried. I pretended to have some dust in my eye.

Today, we ripped out a four page scene in the first half of the day. Once again the chemistry between Barbara Bain and Julia was electric. After replacing 55 flourescent light bulbs in the office corridor we broke for lunch.

As I was driving in to the set at 6am I started thinking about the beautiful conference room in the office spaces and when I arrived I decided I needed to use it for scene 81. Of course everyone threw their hands in the air as if I was some kind of difficult director or something but wait until you see that light streaming in like shards through the window. Morgan hugged me at the end of the day and said that that shot was like we had made an insane 50 million dollar movie, there’s no way anyone will look at that and not think it was a very big budget film.

Shot 9 pages today like I was taking a walk in the park. Everything was perfect.
