I'd like to consider day two of filming way more of a success then last go around, but the amount of problems we had this time evens the experience out for sure. In my eyes, Jordyn is our director, our main-man, and the captain of our ship when it comes to this commercial. Our only problem was, she wasn't here today! This meant I was to film the scenes we needed this period. It felt like I was taking the reigns of Santa's sleigh, and I was a bit nervous I wouldn't do a good job. Our ending result of our last clip proved me more then wrong though! We had a quicker start today and made our way towards the baseball field. After a quick scale of it, I found we couldn't get in without hopping the fence. Moving to the softball field was a quick fix. Yaneli and Nicole helped me set up the Arizona desert scene with our cardboard "rocks" and we began. One big problem when trying to film the final clip was the constant wind, none of our paper props would stand up. Another little problem we encountered was our background looking smaller then we needed it to be. I shot a text to Jordyn and she gave us spectacular fixes to our background problem. We set up our props again and I moved far back with the camera, after zooming in I couldn't believe how good our backdrop was looking against the sparkling Arizona can. As for the wind, I dug a straight line in the dirt for each paper piece to hold it in place and we were good to go. As filming went on, it got so hot we moved to the dugout to take quick breaks and check that the videos taken were up to the mark. My phone got so hot I had to cool it down if I wanted to keep using it! I filmed many varying clips and sent them to Jordyn for her to pick the best of bunch. After we all agreed we had our golden clip, we were good to go! The beating sun made this event fell like it was going in slow-motion. This could point to why it felt like we finished with so much time to spare!
