First Day Filming

Leading up to the first day of filming, we realized that we didn't have a table to set the chess board on. This luckily got solved by Mr. Aaronson letting us use his stool, but we had to set this stool upside down in order for the chess board to balance properly. We had to quickly adjust to make sure you couldn't see the upside down stool in our film now, or at the very least have me edit it out in post.

Our other issue was that we quickly realized that I was a terrible actress. In the video below you'll see my poor attempt at acting anxious.

Throughout the first day of filming, I had to get so much acting help during my part that it sucked a good chunk of the allotted time to film and we should've casted better in that respect. It did, however, allow a lot more feedback from the others perspectives since they were throwing out suggestions to improve my acting. Below is an example of that same clip, but with them giving feedback and us reshooting it.

The final issue was the chess board. We filmed these scenes with the chess board still in the beginning setup and didn't account for progressing the board for the certain shots we filmed. When we realized this at the end of a full day of filming, I claimed I could edit out the board in post, but I'll find out if that's possible. I could change the aspect ratio to cut the radius of the frame more if that doesn't work, but that's worst case scenerio.

I also wanted to try and get all scenes with Kim's face in it done with on the first day out of fear of not replicating her beard the same way on a later filming date, but this plan fell through. Brendan was confident that he would replicate it the same way, so I just had to trust his makeup work.
