The garage has been cleaned up quite a bit, enough to start setting up the next shot. I didn't check to see if I needed to clean the set surfaces, most likely when I re-arrange things I will need to take a 2 inch brush and just give it a once over.
Today was also a good day for my wife. She passed her drivers license driving exam. Why does this have anything to do with Zombie Pirates? Well it means now that my wife is more independent, I no longer have to drive her to work or pick her up at night. This knocks off about 80 minutes a day of driving around. 80 minutes that can be used on the film. Her driving skills are a little rough around the edges since she learned how to drive "wild west style" in the Philippines. I tried to un-teach her the bad stuff and drive more defensively.....hopefully it pays off. If you want to know what it's like driving in the Philippines, just watch this video. Yes, that is an ox powered vehicle on a 5 lane highway at the 2:50 mark haha.
One more thing I did after she passed her exam today was to stop in a pawn shop in Republic Missouri. It's a little ways out of Springfield where her exam was held. For the film I need one more tripod that is sturdy because Mike Strain took his tripod back for a film he was working on, leaving me short. The new tripod is about as sturdy as my previous tripod and the shop owner sold it to me for 9.99. A real steal!
Now we have one tripod that will be attached to the special rig to move up and down, and one to keep the camera on. After this weekend my plan is to make a new film and show what's next. The last major thing to get out of the way is my wifes birthday on Sunday...and a second birthday we plan to attend at her friends home.
