Phew!!! What a day. Up at 4:30, Krispy Kreme by 5:00, throwing our lovely actress into the ocean by 7:00 AM… camera’s rolling of course! And despite an entire Triathlon being between us and our first shooting location we got everything we needed and a beautiful overcast sky for the opening sequence of the film! A BIG THANKS to everyone involved yesterday!

We were all over the place, the beach at dawn, the highways of Los Angeles by noon, and Downtown by the mid afternoon. An additional thanks to the beach services guys for not kicking us out and to photographer Joe Rubenstein for donating a fantastic location for our downtown shoot.
I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
