minefields, goats...

recovering now from a serious bout of food poisoning. took a little more than 24 hours to run its course. luckily it set in just as the shooting day ended yesterday and we had today off. it was a long day! i'll be packing my own lunch to the set from now on.

the first day of shooting for me went well. most of the day i sat waiting in our 'trailer,' which is an awesome ancient RV with a wood interior and modified with two AC units powerful enough to cool a grocery store. we shot some 'driving through the minefield' takes at the end of the day, only got a half an hour of shooting in before the sun went down. for that half an hour i sat in the passenger seat of a jeep with a side-mounted camera as we drove all over the dunes. our director yuri was in the back seat and our translator was in the trunk space. pretty wacky.

tomorrow we shoot all day and do more car interiors, basically the opening shots of the movie. in the afternoon, if we get to it, we'll shoot the 'rescuing a goat' scene.

more soon...
