I love this shot the most -- very surreal, just like the gig itself.
It's all about the rabbit. Fun mascot!Worked at a gig in Prospect Park yesterday and it was a fun one. It was a comedy and a bit surreal. The weather was great to shoot outdoors and the production company fed us well. It was not a boring gig. It was an early morning call though, 6 am, and there was a bit of a challenge to find the crew who were in the park, as we were given the impression they were 'just inside the park' as if nearby. It was actually a good several minutes walking before we found them and only after asking directions of people inside the park walking their dogs and calling the production office to see where exactly this production crew was at since it was obvious they were much deeper into the park than we were led to think.
Most of us were a couple of minutes late to get there but it was pretty organized as far as getting our paperwork, filling it out and then going off to breakfast, some of which was made to order at a truck and it was nice to have a hot breakfast. Then we filmed for several hours and then hung out as the crew decided their next move, then broke for lunch which was also delicious. We had a choice of breaded chicken, pork and fish, along with fresh and cooked veggies. Dessert was there too and I appreciated the lemonade and sweet iced tea. After getting a bottle of water, we soon headed back to set and the overall vibe was very good.
The critical scene was finally being set up and it only took about four or five takes and we were done. We had to change clothes for the next scene -- and as we gathered for it, we were told it was wrapped! We started hustling back and got signed out relatively quickly and smoothly. I thanked John, the man that was signing us out and went on my way home. It was barely 5 pm.
The train ride was relatively quick and it wasn't as crowded as I had feared it would be, seeing it was rush hour. Checked email, called casting to let them know my availability was free for tomorrow if they needed me, took a shower and called it an early night.
