Two shoots, one week

I had two shoots this week, one with my actors and one with my dancers. The shoot with my actors went well but I was not able to do everything I wanted to do because we ran out of light. This might have been because the shoot started late due to some schedule constraints and I ended up waiting about 45 mins to be able to start. I knew about the potential hold-up ahead of time so it was not a problem and I was able to get other stuff done while I waited. So I had to cut a few shots I wanted but the actors and cinematographer were great sports about having to be covered in paint, whipped cream and confetti. It was a blast! It is just getting more difficult to shoot during the golden hour at the end of the day because daylight savings time is cutting daylight more and more everyday. But I think I have everything I need for the music video but I want to shoot another day for my singing. 

The dance shoot was great too! The dancers had a great creative energy and met together to choreograph their spot before the shoot. Their work was so synergistic and they were great dancers. We filmed in a grove of trees which gave the footage a dreamy look. We filmed for a few hours and the dancers had a great time. I was really worried that one of the dancers would injure her foot because she came barefoot with footies and we were filming in a forest. I ran around clearing out branches from the path and she has really tough feet because she dances on pointe. And all is well. Everything ran smoothly and it was a successful shoot.
