So, as many of you know, I've been distracted from HOIA duties a bit because El Burrito King has been taking up so much of my time and I'd figure I would give you some updates:
Firstly, we eventually raised $685 from Indiegogo, with another $1,000 from an independent donation, and $500 from me, so thats everyone who donated.
We've been stretching that money as far as we could, and have managed to complete 2 days worth of shooting so far, with 3-4 more scheduled.
Our first day, despite a nearby
Trail Derailment was a complete success. We got all 29 shots we wanted as well as all the coverage for the first 2 scenes.
Out second filming day, however, was not quite so good. In fact, it is known by the crew only as "The Fiasco". First, we had reserved the camera (the RED Epic) about a month ahead of time, and someone else didn't return it on time, so we got it the morning of the shoot instead of the night before, but that wasn't too big of an issue. Second, we were going to pay this woman $200 to use her car for 2 days (it's a classic car) and she cancelled at 7am. We got a replacement (not as good, but free), so that was solved.
Then, at 11:20am, 40 minutes before the first shot was schedule, An insurance issue. We had a single wrong signature on all the insurance paperwork, and thus we had to enter a hold until we got it sorted (which took nearly 2 hours).
So, we got ready to begin at 2pm, 2 hours behind schedule. I was moving the prop gun from my vehicle to the actor, when a WILD UNDERCOVER POLICE OFFICER appeared at the very worst possible moment. After sorting the issue of it being a prop guy out, we continued.
Then, suddenly, Our director sat in a chair that decided it was "too old" and broke.
Continuing on, after we shot for about 3 hours, the camera decided to malfunction. Once it was operational again, a light "Caught fire".
I think there were a few more issues, but those were the big ones.
All in all, we got about half the shots we wanted, but were confident we'll get the rest the day we return (in 10 days).
