Filming - Day 5

We moved over to Winter Garden today for the first of two weeks of location shooting. We're using a small section of Lakeview Ave as our "Laurel Lane" - the fictional neighborhood where Tyler and the Perryfields live. A small section of the street is covered in a canopy of huge, mossy Southern live oaks. It should look beautiful on film.

Today we focused on the first few scenes of the film, specifically the exterior scenes involving mailman Walter Finley (Chris Schmidt), who takes some vacation time and is replaced by Brady. We had a Steadicam operator on hand for several scenes and the rest were shot with a crane rig. The crane shots take especially long to set up, but the Steadicam makes some shots easier since we don't have to reposition a dolly every time.

Tomorrow we continue shooting on Lakeview Ave.
