Saturday marked the start of our first full weekend of filming, with
several more in the queue. The day was also a family affair, with the
kiddos reprising their roles from the pilot episode. And insisting on
helping behind the scenes. That's how you build your resume, I guess.
There's an axiom in this industry, courtesy of W. C. Fields: "Never
work with children or animals," because they're scene stealing and
unpredictable. You never know how long it's going to take to get the
performances you need out of them, and you'd better hope you get what
you're after before they get irritated or bored or attack their
handlers.
So, given that the first half of our the day involved filming with
kids, and that they didn't have their lines memorized, and that we had a
hard out of 5pm, we were braced for a taxing grind of a day.
Instead, we flew, filming nine pages in six hours, including lunch.
We actually wrapped early. I'm taking this as good sign and hoping the
momentum continues.
