Short Film April 3rd

Today we began filming for our latest short movie. We went out to a jogging path by Spring Lake in Santa Rosa. It was really windy so we picked up a lot of white noise on the microphone. We are most likely going to have to scratch the audio in the editing process. Another problem we ran into the the surplus of people on the path. We had to do a lot of waiting for people to pass.
In the scene today we are establishing that the main character, played by Tommy Franich, has killed a cyclist, played by Derrick Carbiener, when he throws his beer bottle over his shoulder. He proceeds to hide the body under a tree and rides off with his victims bike.

Unfortunately there was also a hic-up with the bike which became completely unusable towards the end of filming. Now in order to get the shots that we need, we will have to return to the location at a different time to finish. Here is a pic of one of my group members trying to get the bike wheel unbent for the last scene of the day to no avail.

All in all we got most of the shots that we needed to get done and we only had to break four beer bottles in order to do that.
