My 2nd day of shooting went much smoother than the first day. Got a lot of great footage. Zilker Botanical Gardens is a wonderful place to shoot. Our only problem was during the afternoon while we were trying to get our jib shot, we had a bunch of tourists walking around getting in the shot. Steve, our A.D., and Jen, our makeup lady, did their best with traffic control. Someone got their pants in a bind and complained to Zilker management that we weren't allowing them to walk around, which wasn't true. Anyway I had to smooth things over with them. Lighting also was an issue as they decided we couldn't use their electricity anymore. So our last two scenes of the day might be a little on the dark side. But I'm still happy with everything we got. My two boys, Winston and Blake were real troopers. Especially Winston, he's only 9 and went through a 9 hour day like a real trooper. Great little actors as well. I'm really looking forward to start editing the scenes together. Now the hard part, shooting the fight scene in Elysium. More on that later.
