Andy Samberg, Swings, and a Clown Nose

We had another experimental filming day! (Photo credits go to Emily and H.D. in addition to me.)


Once everyone arrived, I took this group shot.

After a bit of debate, we decided it would be fun to get out of the house and go to the park to film instead. It was an overcast day up until we finished filming, but we still managed to get some great footage!


There was this nice little stage near the entrance. No one else was there, so we used it for rehearsals. Emily and Kelsi talked for a bit as we explored.


We decided to do a scene with Kelsi and Andrew first, but we set Marissa and Emily up to do the next one. It only took them ten minutes to memorize!

We had to figure out a good way to film Andrew and Kelsi running into the park, so H.D. played with the camera angles while Eve and Erin chatted on the grass.

We decided it would be a wasted opportunity if we didn't film the actors playing on the playground.

While Andrew, Kelsi, and Eve got a break, we decided to shoot a conversation scene between Megan (Emily) and Paulie (Marissa). We tried a bunch of different angles, but we decided that it was coolest filmed from above.

This is the Marissa and Emily scene, filmed again with Jen (Eve) in the shot. We had the conversation go normally, then decided to get a little crazy and have Erin stand on the table. As the chat ends, all three characters look up as the camera shows that Erin's been there the whole time. I'm pretty sure it's symbolic, but H.D.'s the one who can explain it.

Andrew found a caterpillar. As he said, "I named him Pinky because it's green."

Once we packed up at the park, we headed back to the house for pizza, Pepsi, and brownies.

We were pretty tired by the end, but it was the most successful day in a long time.
