Two Locations in One Night

By Tony Vallone story, screenplay, associate producer

The other day we filmed at two exterior locations. This meant that we needed to set up the generator and the big lights, break down the generator and big lights, move, and set up the generator and big lights a second time - all in the same night. Usually the set up and break down is the biggest thing we do on a regular night.

We shot the exterior of the abandoned house at an amazing location. Sam will point it out for you.



It was really spooky and awesome at the same time. just look at it.



It had a huge front lawn where Ladybird (production design) decided he'd try and fly. It inspired me to write my next film:



After the Abandoned house location we went to yet another location where we were filming pickups. The tricky thing about pickups is that we need to make sure the lighting matches exactly. For that we used reference pictures that were taken that day and in this case dailies from that day.



We also filmed out the back of a car and it required wranglers. The car was basically on a tether because we needed to feed power to the light that was mounted to it. this meant that Kenny and Vince had to wrangle the extension cord as the car drove by. 6mph might not seem that fast but when you are wrangling cable it is pretty ridiculous. Look how tired they are:
