It’s a Wrap

Last weekend, we completed the filming of my webseries pilot. Thanks to a marvelous and talented cast and crew, everything went smooth. We had some obstacles such as airplanes flying overhead every five minutes; a morning gardener complete with lawn mower and leaf blower; someone who ruined a take by driving by, slowing down, and asking “Someone lose a dog?”; and some very active hornets. But it’s all part of the process. And really, without these things, we’d be without some really fun stories to tell. This was one of the smoothest shoots I’ve ever been a part of. It had a lot to do with every single person’s contributions and coming together as a very cohesive team. We all had a great energy on set. We had a common goal and everyone worked to make it a success. We worked hard and we played hard. Which is to say, we got down to business when necessary, and when appropriate, we let out the jokes. One of the best ingredients of a film shoot is fun. Be sure to sprinkle plenty of it over the top of every set you’re on. Because if you’re not having fun, why bother?
