The village

Do you see the bunny?

So, this weekend began rather interestingly when the location for the office scene ended up in the west village on the second floor of a tanning salon. As far as we were told there was no elevator and five girls were sent to move in giant steel filing cabinets on a Friday night. If you've ever been to the village you will know that a 15 passenger van, a cube truck, and a car do not have any business being at the intersection of W4th and 7th ave. The whole thing was a fiasco, harsh words were exchanged, and one filing cabinet was left at the foot of the stairs while the rest remained in the van. Most of the night was probably spent aimlessly driving around the village trying to navigate correctly to our location...not good.

The next morning resulted in some drama. There was a slight struggle in the art department management (set decorator got the boot) and the camera crew found an elevator for them and all their equipment, but got stuck for 2 hrs.

Also, it turns out in my absence the previous sound guy had been let go and the new sound guy is a girl. Too bad too cause he was pretty cool. To add even more drama, the owner of the office ended up coming, telling us to wrap up and get out cause we overstayed our welcome by a few hours.

It seems that the disappearance of the first 2nd A.D. and the last minute replacement of the main character last weekend were only the beginnings of the craze. The best part yesterday was probably the producer with his iPhone rubber-banded to his head searching for a port-a-potty.
