Galkin Project monologue re-shoot

Our shoot on March 28 went very well. It threatened to rain all day, but we only had to stop once for about five minutes while a brief shower passed over. The overcast sky gave us even lighting, and we utilized some silver-coated foam core for a bounce light. We got started almost two hours later than scheduled because we forgot to factor in a one hour time zone change since the team was coming from Nashville. They also had some trouble with their trailers when they were leaving the church in Nashville. Will and Aaron were much more focused and clear during the takes. They had obviously really nailed down what they wanted to say and how they wanted to say it. Since they were both present for the shoot, they were also able to help each other clarify their thoughts.

We had some issues with some strong winds getting picked up in the audio. That ruined a few good takes, but we still had enough good ones to cover all of the thoughts in the script. At another location, there was a woman (apparently mentally handicapped) who decided she wanted to serenade the entire crew while we were in the middle of shooting. Will kindly encouraged her to wait until we were done shooting to continue her concert.

The editing of all of the monologues and pick-up shots that we re-shot is very close to completion. We expect to mail a DVD to the team next week for them to review again. This should be a final version, and we can expect the final delivery of all of the DVDs to be before the end of May.
