Shooting without the other actors, I focussed on getting the footage of Ren for the scenes which were otherwise mostly complete. On previous days I had to focus on getting the shots of either Gordon or Julie, leaving out the shots of Ren due to time constraints. I knew I would come back to shoot the shots of my character later.
Now it was time for me to do some acting, unfortunately without the other actors present. Having gone over the scenes extensively already with them, I was ready to perform even without them in the room to perform with me.
I had extensive shot lists planned for the scenes of Ren, since being in front of the camera poses additional challenges to the directing process. We got a lot done this day, but there is still much more to be done in order to complete these scenes to my satisfaction.
I'll be going over the footage soon to see what I've missed and what else I need. Until then, I'm pretty happy with the work that is so far complete. We got most of my performance for these scenes, but there is still more to be done. In addition to my performance, I am planning to get extensive amounts of pick up shots, and "B-roll" footage on later shoot dates.
