Sound Mixer Ken Jackson and Grip Huy Chua load in on Day 1, tho that looks
suspiciously like the holding area on day 2. Oh well.

Andrew Wonder holds our precious camera with a steady grip.

Rob Toth readies the camera.

Grip Andrew Carr lost in Times Square searching for DATs

Andrew and Rob ready the camera...again!

Producer Julie Sexeny, Production Asst. Kelly Norris, and Huy sit around
not helping (ha!)

Gaffer Smokey Nelson is in the zone, getting ready for our office shoot

Director Nick Carr checks the shot

Nick continues to check the shot, while nearly unnoticable DP Joe Murphy
watches on

Apparently, Nick cannot get the damn shot to frame correctly. Joe and Rob
wait patiently.

Yup, Nick is taking his sweet time on this one. Smokey has joined the crew...waiting...

Nick is happy - but is DP Joe?

Huzzah! Joe is happy! Sound Mixer Ken readies the equipment

Amateur perhaps, but no harm in getting excited about seeing one's name on
a slate

And even closer on the slate...

Getting ready for the shot. Actor and Movie Exec Jerry Della Salla is in
place.

Smokey takes a rest in the movie exec's chair

We've now moved to North Salem, and our gear is in shambles

You know, when I went back to search for a missing light lens, the owner
of the house said we had made a mess of his yard. I dont see anything...

Grip Austin Carr, looking scared

Grip and terrorist Andrew, on scene

Huzzah! The light works!
