Sorry for the delay in a new post. Last week tested the mettle of the entire cast and crew, but I'm happy to say that we pulled through it quite well and are now settling into the last days of the shoot.
A week from yesterday we were slated to film a very cool and elaborate scene at the Mansfield Reformatory, perhaps best known for being the location of much of The Shawshank Redemption. I'll talk about the reformatory and all that comes with it in a separate entry. What I want to mention now is that we were thwarted by the weather. Much of the scene in question takes place outside, and Ohio made national news with the storms that came our way that Monday, flooding a good portion of the Mansfield-Crestline area and leaving us having to shuffle the entire shooting schedule, since exterior scenes were planned to be shot all week.
I can't emphasize enough how amazing everyone was in meeting this challenge. Schedules were flipped, sets were built post-haste, everyone rose to the occasion, and things fell into place. More than that, actually. We returned to the reformatory yesterday to shoot the scene, and the evening couldn't have been more perfect. Cool weather, clear skies, and a lunar eclipse to boot!
All's well that ends well!
