Union Street

Hello all,
Jonathan Thompson, Chris Koser and Caleb Young all worked on a short film, Union Street, this weekend Friday and Saturday. Friday ended up being a bust. The car broke down, which put the day back a few hours, and by the time everything was set and ready to go, the light was escaping quickly, and since the street was not shut down on Friday the atmosphere did not seem great for the film. So friday night, over pizza, Jonathan, Chris and Caleb walked through the script and storyboards and set a very tight schedule to shoot all content of the script on Saturday from 8-4 (the only hours that there is good light), and added up to almost 40 setups, including a car crash, cop cars blocking streets, gun shots, blood, a bullet shattering a window - not to mention the large amount a rain that poured all day. It was big undertaking, but after a slow start waiting for the light that did not seem to want to come in the morning, and including a lunch break - all 40 setups were shot, and shot well in 7 hours.
There are so many thank you , but it has to be said that all the extras, photographers, crew, friends, actors (with great attitudes) and technical advisors had a lot patience with the production and weather, and excitement about the film. It could have been a distaster with the weather and technical coordination of certain elemenst, but everyone had a great attitude and it went on very smoothly. So thank you all. It was a blast. And it should be fun to watch.
