It's Go Time Part 2?

 Go Time Part 2!!

    Yesterday was the second day of production for "the ballad of bobby the blob", and to be honest there was a lot going on. 

    Before we started filming, me and Julia were trying to figure out a way for us to go to the beach for the montage of the film, but the thing was: there was no one that could give us a ride, well, mainly. Technically, her dad offered to take us, but I felt really bad having him stay there for 45 minutes just so we could get a couple of shots and film a short scene. So, I tried asking around my house for people who can drive to see if someone could pick us up or drop us off or something but then I realized, I needed the same car that Julia used yesterday in order to film the scene. 

    Nevertheless, I felt like things were getting too complicated and stressful, so I just decided to change the location of the montage from the beach to a park. Here in Weston, there are a lot of cool parks that we could use but I mainly chose to film at Markham Park since it's a big and spacious area with a lot of different places to get nice, cinematic shots. Then, I informed my actors, and we were good to go to film at 6pm. 

    The rest of filming went really smooth. Everyone got to the park around 6pm and for 30-45 minutes we ran around the park getting nice, cute moment of Julia and Yoav. I like the fact that they still tried to stay in character during these moments since they didn't just try to improv but also add their own little touch to things. It makes me happy when actors try to resonate with their characters at all times. 

    After we finished at the park, we headed over to my house to finish the last 2 scenes of film. We waited a bit for my boyfriend, Oscar to come and help us since he acts in it as Julias father. It was hard for me to get an older actor to play Julia's dad, so we just ended up using my boyfriend instead. We started filming and for some reason we could not stop laughing but once we finally focused, we got all the shots we needed and ended the production of " the ballad of bobby the blob". 

    One thing about filming outside is that it got a little difficult since I didn't want to seem like the actors were being lit by a light, so I used this tube light I checked out at Becon TV (Thank you Jim) and then I played around with the settings to make it look as realistic as possible. Might need to do some serious color grading but, stay tuned for more editing posts!
