Marcy and Ross getting ready to do the final shot of the school scene.	Cy finding the sound and I think Mike is moonwalking??	This was such a tight shot and we had to move it here at the last minute because of rain. It all worked out though.	Amy giving our wonderful talent some last minute direction.
Lots of people, lots of rain and lots of gear in a very small area.	We made the most out of our limited space by doing a curved dolly shot following "Laura" into a conversation with "Jason".	Weazie did a great job of getting us into this school. It took a lot (story boards, script information and money) but it worked nicely.	Marcy and Ross and the crazy of a busy crew.
Mike digging through a heap of gear.	The dolly move was so tight that Cy and the lights had to be flat against he wall.	Aravind checking the lighting.	Cy...
Nick doing his thing. He was making a "Mayakashi Warrior" overlay for the game that "Jason" shares with "Laura"	Anne-Marie our child wrangler and her boys. They all did a wonderful job.	Aravind hanging a grid light in "Laura's" classroom.	Just about to do a take where the boys walk out as the bell rings. Weazie is about to mark a slate.
Marcy and her math.	Artistic shot of Cy	Gaffers taking care of things.	Amy getting educated on what school is really like.
Ceelie using a ladder to steady the camera. Hey it was good enough for Robert Rodriguez.	Mike and a Mini Mole	A beautiful Marcy	A beautiful Weazie.
A beautiful Aravind.	Weazie praying to the film goddess to help us get the shot done. She could also just be frustrated with me??	Aww, we direct together so well.	Mike, white balance!
Aravind, Mike and Cyrus did a great job lighting the school room and still gave us room to move.	Doesn't she look like a teacher?	Amy LOVES to see people reading the script. It puts an oar in the water.	Ross playing "Mayakashi Warrior". He was a great find. I hate that we didn't give him more screen time.
The almost constant rain caused us to have to light everthing.	Our impromptu crossing guard.	We were shooting an image of "Jason" through the door as the "crossing guard" walked through	Our smallest actors were so well behaved. Now if the bigger ones would just settle down.
We were always pushing to do big camera moves and complex staging. This was probably the most complex shot we did. And we still managed to get out of the school on time!	Practice run for crew choreography	Nicky and Cy sorting out cables	Cy getting sound levels for Marcy and Weazy on their last mark. I think it's a cool shot and shows a really long boom move by Cy
You can always tell where the monitor is at in these shots.	Reverse shot showing what the actors were seeing	Testing the dolly move	Aravind is a master with black wrap
The guys are either planning a mutiny or talking about the hot director!
