and thats a wrap

 WE WRAPPED FILMING AND DID A SEANCE LESS GOOOOO

Third day of filming went swimmingly, so less recap.

While Aneesa and Nico were out getting some shots for the dead wife montage we wanted to include, Quinn and I created darkness 

Our first attempt did not go well

However, the dead wife crew came in clutch and grabbed us some trash bags to blackout the windows, so when they got to set, we trashed the place. 

blacked out 😛

I know it doesn't look like it, but I contributed more than this. Ok, on to filming.

We quickly shot the flashback scenes we needed, then started Claire's entrance and montage. We wanted to have a huge tonal shift from this more laid-back vibe to the dramatized seance scene later, so we went with a more natural lighting setup for these shots. 

calm setup. 

We bounced the light off the wall to give it a softer feel, and had Quinn's yellow lamp lit up in the background for some nice accent lighting and a nice little pop of warmth. 

After we finished those scenes, it was on to the next scene. For the seance, we wanted a very dramatic, classically evil vibe. We lit the room purple and red, while pointing a white key light at each person's face when they were on camera to highlight them.

This scene took a while to film, but we needed to take the time to do so because it's the climax of the film. We had to do the scene around 4 or 5 different times for each character, nailing the deliveries I wanted each time. Huge props to our cast, because you volunteered to do this. I do not know why. 

But once we were done, I got to say the best 3 words in film: That's a wrap. 

Editing next less goo
