Had a bit of Darwinism taking place last weekend.
Saturday afternoon we were set to shoot the final scene for the movie (coincidentally the opening shot) we arrived at the cabin and were getting ready. I had charged the battery for the camcorder before heading to the cabin and when we were about to shoot I checked the batteries power in the camera and it was blinking (meaning pretty much dead). So I figured well, let's get setup and shoot this as fast as possible! Well, I go to move my truck out of the shot and....nothing. It doesn't start, I keep trying and nothing helps.
So, the scene couldn't be shot because pushing the truck out of the shot was not practical and getting everyone into makeup for the shot with no guarantee on how much we would get shot (due to the battery) I decided to postpone the shooting.
Luckily my dad was at the cabin before we were going to shoot and gave everyone that came up with me (4 people) a ride back to the cities while I stayed at the cabin and from time to time tried getting my car to start. Monday I had to get the truck towed to a nearby town and it cost me $560.00 to get the fuel pump and filter replaced.
Shitty weekend indeed. Should shoot that scene either friday afternoon or Saturday afternoon and start editing this weekend as well.
