Yesterday, we shot Matt Hill's "Foot in the Mouth." Here are excerpts from some of the conversations:
Eric: Ready to shoot?
Lawrence: I'm glad you have confidence in my skills, but you just gave me the script ten minutes ago.
Eric: So...want to do a read through?
Lawrence: Yeah.
Chad: Are you going to block the shots?
Eric: Block?
Chad: You know, blocking.
Eric: Oh, you mean tell you where to stand and move so the shots line up on different takes?
Chad: Yeah.
Eric: No. Just remember where you were.
Chad: Okay...
Howard: I think I missed my cue.
Kenna: Was that good?
Eric: Perfect. Except next time stand on the other side of him.
Chad: Is this your lighting?
Eric: Only until I can get to Home Depot.
Howard: Did I miss my cue again?
Eric: Yeah.
Eric: Pause before you say, "and wasps." It'll make it funny.
Chad: Gotcha.
Eric: Okay, let's do it again. You're at a party, it's fun, but Chad's pissed off and Lawrence can't say the right thing. And...ACTION. (Lawrence's cell phone rings) And...CUT.

Oh snap. How can so many people fit in one Short-a-Week? I'm going to need a program to keep track of everything. Somebody call Playbill magazine!
You call them, while I put on a fly outfit for the photogs!
I love this! You should do it for every short. Yes, I am reading blogs at work. What are you gonna do about it?
Hmm, maybe we'll have another camera doing a behind the scenes documentary short... a short making of a short...
Well, your profile says you're a student, so do you mean you're checking it in class?
