I feel exhausted. For the last two nights I've been helping with a short film from 5 in the afternoon until 5 the next morning. The problem though is I can't seem to get myself to really sleep in. The first night, I crashed around 5:30 and drifted awake at 11'ish, then I just laid there with my eyes closed for another hour and a half - which was frustrating. I'm sure tomorrow morning I'll be fully adjusted - and not to mention, done with the short - so then it will be a week of getting myself back on a decent schedule.

Unfortunately, nothing has actually been shot over the last 24 hrs of set-time, there is probably 15-20 people helping with this short at any given time, and basically everyone has been knee-deep in set construction, lighting, sound-prepping, etc... Hopefully we'll walk onto the set tonight, flip a switch, and be good-to-go. But with the way things have been going, a few minor bumps in the road could delay us half way into the night. On the plus-side [since they've lost two days of scheduled shooting] the short is one continuous 25 minute long steadicam shot, so there is hope. There's always hope.

Speaking of hope; I had a dream this morning that the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' were chasing me in a giant pirate ship, but they were the turtles from the first movie, not the cartoony' turtles from the second one ... actually that has nothing to do with 'hope'. I just felt like sharing.
