Filming began Wednesday morning as we opened with a prayer and a devotional at 8 AM. We're shooting 12 hour days on a Tuesday-Saturday schedule. We take a break after 6 hours and have to stop promptly after 12 so the crew doesn't have to be paid overtime. Overtime is very costly. We're a union and SAG film so we have many rules to follow.
My role has now changed from Brady's stand-in to any one's stand-in and will be so for the duration of the film. I'm also going to be paid a reasonable daily rate since I'm now a full-time stand-in. That's great for me since I've been an unpaid intern up till now. It's a great experience since I get to hang out on set and see all the inner workings of a shot.
If this post seems scattered it's because I'm sitting on the soundstage and it's pretty distracting. Anyways, we began in Brady's apartment on Wednesday and moved to Tyler's room on Thursday. We have to shoot everything we can in one set before moving to the next so we don't shoot scenes in sequence. We'll spend the rest of the week moving between the two rooms on the soundstage.
I've finally got a cast list, too:
Jeffrey Johnson as Brady McDainels (the mailman)
Robyn Lively as Maddy Doherty
Tanner Maguire as Tyler Doherty
Bailee Madison as Samantha Perryfield
Maree Cheatham as Olivia (the grandmother)
Michael Bolton (not the singer) as Ben Doherty
Ralph Waite as Cornelius Perryfield
Check back tonight for an update on today!
