Sunday, July 15th, 2012 was the last day of shooting our short film, Reality Check, and it was a long one! Crew call was for 9am at a local pizza restaurant called Queen’s Pizza. We wanted to eliminate any audio issues, so we decided to shut off the air condition and soda machines. Unfortunately, it was very hot out. So, because of the size of the restaurant and the amount of lights we had, it was very uncomfortable for everyone.
After we finished the scene at the pizza shack, we had a small break before heading to at a relative’s office where we shot scene one. This was much easier to do since we needed less people and were able to have the A/C running.
Below are some photos from our first shoot at Queen’s Pizza. Photos were taken by Michael Crosby. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to take photos for the night shoot.
