Still we fight on, like General Custer, or traditional retailers. The scene is coming under some new pressure: the weather. The skies are beginning to grey and there is a chance for rain, but will we ever stop, yo I don't know, turn off the lights and we'll glow. Translation: no, we keep filming.
This shot is shaping up to be fairly technical, and Diego is doing some on the fly adjustments to account for the size of the grill and the depth required to create the visual illusion we're trying to achieve. This is going to be our opening look, and basically we are going to split an actor in half to demonstrate the duality of Hispanics living in the US. After seeing the first cuts, it's going to be a poignant moment that sets the tone for the rest of the spot.
Hang on a minute (as Paul would say), what's all that debris on the roof??? Get someone up there and sweep it off immediately!!!
Wait, don't go up there while we are shooting! (Sorry Paul, we can't have our cake and eat it too). Ok all better.
With our daylight BBQ scene complete, we now await the 'magic hour', when it becomes dark enough to film our night scenes. Preparations begin....
2 hours later.....
It's getting dark out and we are ready to shoot. It's been a long day and I am running out of witty things to say in this blog. All I know is that I've had too much coffee today, Paul and I are repeating conversations, and we all need 1 or 12 mescals when we get back to the hotel to generate more memorable moments. And if we can't get mescal, we have a Peruvian with us who is pushing Pisco. Danger looms.
