Production Day with the Crew November 7th, 2009. Part 2

Once the girls and I had a clear idea about what we needed to do. We started collecting the rest of the elements that were needed for the shoot and scouting for the third location. The girls were staring at stumps and branches, searching for the perfect location. They did a fantastic job helping me! The amazing stump in the first two shots was there find and the branch in the second shot. The third location was there pick entirely and I loved it!


Once we knew the elements it was time to pre-light before lunch. We did a really quick gear orientation and hopped to it. The girls helped in every way. Holding stands, taking meter readings, being the stand-in model. Things were looking great!

Pre-Lighting for Shot #1
About this time down the hill came our fashion stylist Tammy Pitre, Make-up artist Cierra Geer and Model Britanni Johnson. Before we broke for lunch the girls had a chance to ask questions to rest of the crew. During lunch, the sun broke loose from the clouds and poured out onto our location. So after lunch we had to change some lighting.

Pre-Lighting 2 for Shot #1.
Everything was ready to go and the full sun on the set turned out to be just what the story needed. We had an hour and thirty minutes to get the three shots captured. The girls were fantastic, the crew was fantastic. I could not have asked for a better day in the woods.
