First Day of Shooting

We started shooting yesterday at about 12pm. It was cold and cloudy. (I really don't like northern CA weather!) The first thing we shot was "Danny" fishing in a creek. JP had to sit on a tree stump with a stick and a thin rope as a fishing line. (Like a true southerner...lol) We had a little trouble trying to get "Teddy" the dog to take one of the fish away from JP. They had to coat it with cream cheese for him to be interested in it and then he wouldn't bite it to take it away. I think the funniest part was when the dog was on break, in his chair of coarse, and JP said his only line for that part, which was "Hey!", and then dog tried to go to him and take the fish. At least the dog knew the scene we were working on! Then we did dome other small shots without lines. These scenes are all second unit scenes which means we don't have trailer with us or access to some essentials, like snacks and a pillow. We're gonna have to get them a list of things JP likes to eat, so that he will eat. (Ya gotta have chicken nuggets for a 9 year old!) He was so tired by 8pm. We're still not adjusted to Pacific Time yet. We finally got into bed about 1030pm and up at 730am.
Jessica is a little bored. But she doesn't like to impose upon anyone. I'm hoping they ask her to do some tech type work. They have asked her on occasion to help take care of Little Bear, and she likes that. We won't be getting to worok with any of the named actors until after Thanksgiving.

Take Care to ALL and HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!
