Overall, the best three consecutive days of shooting yet for DOJ. We gathered on a rooftop in Williamsburg at the crack of dawn on Friday and shot Evan (Gene) working on some Tai Chi. Considering the delicate nature of the location, we shot guerrilla style. I manned the boom and Dieter tried out the SteadyCam. Nice, relaxed morning garnering some (hopefully) great shots.
After a lil breakfast stopover, we three met up with AD Vicky and producer/pa Maria, as well as Jen (Summer) at the waterfront park in the Burg (which apparently is going to serve as the new location for summer concerts, since McCarren Pool is refurbished to serve as an actual pool) to shoot the falafel date scene.
Things were moving along smoothly until a local park "ranger" (or someone playing dress up) asked about our permit. "Permit? What permit?" was not the right answer and we were forced to break down and head to McCarren and shoot the scene.
McCarren proved to be a bit nosier than the waterfront and despite my deep breathing exercises, I experienced an overwhelming urge to throttle Mr. Softie, who felt it necessary to circle the park about sixty times while we shot. The jingle is still in my head and he's still out there, soft serving kiddies.
