This was the exterior of the restaurant scenes with Carl and Stephan, aka Michael and Cipriano. We were back at a full crew for this shoot and we were filming both scenes that featured the two of these characters (we intended to shoot the office scene with the two of them but decided the location wasn't good enough and thus decided to reschedule that).
Me directing Carl on the path he should take to get where I wanted to frame him.
This was another relatively easy shoot because both actors got into their characters well and were easy enough to work with. I had a bit of trouble at times getting one actor into place and making them stay there. Also one actor kept suggesting how we shoot the film, to be honest while I am not a complete dictator, I don't appreciate actors who over step the mark, for example I have no problem with actors suggesting things but when they tell me that their idea will look better, they're overstepping the mark so I politely asked him to stop, there was no issue from this point on so no hard feelings and we could continue from there.
This is the afternoon shoot when we got the wise shot of Michael arriving. (a rare sight of our producer on set)
The second half of the shoot went down without a problem, except the public were out a lot more and the wind picked up so sound became an issue, this meant that we just had to wait between takes, this wasn't really an issue, it just felt as though we were wasting time.
