The days are certainly getting shorter. Shooting outside the past couple days certainly showed that. Depending on the sun to light the town square for the brawl / gun fight / injury of young boy limited our shooting time to that period with the sun providing the necessary illumination. As the sun fell closer to the horizon and the shadows of buildings began to creep across the set the pace of shooting ramped up to a hectic pace. Eventually the sun dipped below the distant hills, but that didn’t stop us. The light crew jumped into action; raising up one 18,000 watt light to the position the sun held previous and supporting it with several other 6k’s. By the end (long after dusk had settled into night) the temperature had fallen back down into the frigid range. Sheesh. Luckily, even fake sun gives off a little bit of heat.
