Filming Day 1: Lost in Home Depot

We officially started filming for our film opening!

The first scene takes place in Home Depot, so we went on Sunday to get all the shots we needed. I expected a lot of issues, but everything went surprisingly smoothly. I was nervous about filming in public because I get embarrassed easily, but Home Depot was pretty empty, which made things easier. We got all the shots we needed in under an hour, which was way faster than I expected. 

This is a blooper; the saw got stuck, and you can see me laughing. I love bloopers!!

One of the funniest parts was my mom having to wear heels for the scene. Our only ones were too big, so she kept switching between slides and heels between takes.

If you look closely, you can see my mom's slides, so we have to cut that out.

Also, I managed to get lost in Home Depot, it’s huge, and I couldn’t find some of the items we needed! But despite that, we ended up with over 40 seconds of footage from this location alone, which is great.

Overall, I’m really proud of how everything went. Now, onto the next scenes!
