Yesterday was the shoot for Bridges of Madison County and it was so well worth the wait I can't even express it. Adam White shot it. Woodie Anderson provided the perfect location, a ton of equipment, and took behind the scenes pics. Donna Williams was the PA. Chuck Kartali is such a brilliant actor and he hit it out of the park! Wow. My makeup artist got the stomach flu so I didn't have that benefit and although I did my own, it was a bit worn out by the time I got to the shoot. Also, I forgot my bobby pins so I couldn't put my hair up in a french twist but I'm hoping the acting will distract from my shortcomings. I pictured myself getting there about an hour early but after having to rush to get gas, wine glasses, candles for the scene ... I ran out of time and got there promptly but certainly not early, at 5 PM.
It all went very smoothly and the shoot was pretty fast. We didn't do a thousand takes. It seems like we captured it quite quickly. Did I mention Chuck's performance? I'm going to be getting comments on that one for months to come. I just know it. Overall, this was a wonderful crew and they got me home at a nice early hour. At that point, I did start to get hungry but I fasted all day long so I wasn't going to blow it then.
Today I think I will be meeting with Mike Salemi, the editor for the Y scene. He is a friend of Chuck Chubbuck's and a great guy. I'm excited to work with him and I think it will go quickly. He already sent me a music bed and seems to be all over it ... YAY! He also said if we don't finish it today, we can wrap it up on Saturday at some point.
I also got a call from Devon yesterday and we made plans to talk late last night but he had a shoot and I think it went long. We'll talk today. His shoot was with his son, Isaiah and it was his son's first commercial. I can't wait to hear all about it. I love his son. He cracks me up. Should be a good story.
So, today the edit I think. Tomorrow the shoot for Z, I think. Saturday the edit, I think? I really don't know anything for sure until I talk to Devon but I really hope it goes that way so I can just sit still on Sunday. Wouldn't that be great? I think so! And as crazy as this schedule might seem I do want to have conversations that are unrelated and be removed from my A to Z world here and there.
Meryl Streep is in England shooting her Iron Lady movie where she plays Margaret Thatcher. Her pictures are amazing! She looks just like her.
