plotting and waiting

we're in what's called "production period" through November 12th. It's been cool so far, except a few set backs here and there. I was the director of photography on the first film we just finished last weekend. basically, our class is broken into several crews of 5 or 6 and each of the crew members make their film with the rest of the peeps as crew. dp'ing was pinche stressful, especially because it was film. i could have done a better job (i think) if it was video, but i guess that's obvious. the thing that started stressing me out was exposure and focus, the two most important things a dp should be exact with.
right now i'm doing preproduction for my shoot thats happening on the 27th and 28th of oct. OMG. i have great actresses though and i think its going to be ok. plus, dave's gonna be the ill craft service/pa guy. the only issue is locations - i've had a hard time getting permission for a restaurant front and for this roof top. so, we're gonna sneak the rooftop which is a scary thing. i would hate to get kicked off mid-shoot.

ANYWAYS this is the town i want to visit asap. VALPAIRISO, CHILE
