Ninja vs Penguin

Penguin January 20th, 2008

Wrapped our third day of shooting today and we’re on good track to finishing the video.

Nancy was nice enough to open her house to let us shoot there. Since we had gone over last week, I was committed to making sure the place was clean and back to the way it was before we got there. We were running a little late as it was, so we missed a lot of shots.

At the time, it seemed like the best decision. Grab the master shot and that’s it. Now, that I’ve had time to think about it, I regret that decision. The additional coverage that we needed to get were minor and probably would’ve taken an additional 15 minutes. I was so focused on just finishing, that I compromised my vision for the video.

Does this decision ruin the video? No. Is it as good as it could’ve been? Probably not. Now, I have to make a second decision. Do I go back to Nancy’s place next week and shoot all that coverage that I missed? Or do I move on. We have a really tight schedule coming up, so I’m afraid that we may run over.

With that said, I think I’m going to go back. Otherwise, this is going to eat me up inside.
