Actually I was the first one there! Carl was parked in the back, waiting in the back, while I was wandering around the front of ANMT wondering where everyone was. A few minutes later Russell walked in and then I heard from Carl, and people started showing up and moving like worker bees around the large rehearsal room at ANMT - dressing the set. Jo and Betsy did an amazing job making the set look realistic. I was actually fairly blown away by the transformation. I began setting up "craft services". I have no idea why it's called that, considering there's very little craft in opening a box of granola bars and placing them on a plate, but nonetheless I set them out as well as the muffins, fruit, weird little cheese danish thingies, trail mix and water that I had purchased at Costco on Saturday. Then it was off to McDonalds to pick up breakfast from the crew. I can't remember the last time I bought at Egg McMuffin, but the crew needs protein in the morning. After a run to Kinko's to copy 30 film scripts for cast and crew, I got back just after most of the actors had arrived. It was fun seeing the reactions on the actors' faces when they saw the transformed main room at ANMT. Before long, it was time to order lunch from Koo Koo Roo. I had no idea writing involved ordering and picking up so much food.
By the time we actually started shooting, I was already exhausted. But, at least I got to sit at the back of the set with my little camera and shoot bits of the shooting. I also helped out a little by watching the book if an actor needed a line shouted out. The process was pretty interesting. Definitely looking forward to the Tuesday shoot!
