So now I've got to film a scene where I've got eight people playing football. How do you choreograph something as complex as that?
It was actually pretty easy. We went to the football field, made plays, recorded it, the end. Everyone knew what to do, and everyone went automatically went into the state of really playing the game. So it all came off organic.
There were a few problems such as when a player RAN INTO THE CAMERAMAN.
Sometimes the camera couldn't keep up with the action and things such as that but no real problems.
We had to film during the day which I didn't like. I wanted magic hour but time did not permit so we filmed then. Hot as hell and brighter than I wanted, but besides that it was great.
Another scene was shot at the basketball court but with all the dialogue in the scene we weren't able to get as many master shots as I wanted. It was getting dark soon, the curse of magic hour, so we concentrated on getting all the close-ups we needed and with the time left we got what masters we could. Enough to make it work in editing.
This was the day the photographer showed up, so all we got were photos of us playing basketball. So when I post photos of the movie people think it's an entire movie about basketball. Lesson learned, always have someone with a camera on set and make sure the photographer shows up the day they were supposed to.
That's it for the filming of the movie. Any other questions, just ask.
Next I'll move on to what to do after filming the movie.
