Today we shot out on a salt lake, just East of Meckering. I'd forgotten how difficult it is to sustain yourself out in the elements and many of the crew also didn't have much experience working in those conditions. Plus, we lacked real resources to cope with sun and wind and hence, we suffered a little.
On the positive side, we had horses today which really gives the film a feeling of scope. We shot the horses galloping in a wide-shot, which was fantastic!
We really started losing the light in the late afternoon, due to an approaching cold front and Dustin's last shot of the day was in cloud cover, but you have to take what you can get. His performance is so strong that it didn't really matter.
Peta was a trooper today! She had to do a scene running across the salt lake and she stumbled. She didn't stop, she just got back up and kept going.
All-in-all, a very successful day with only a couple challenges for the performances and coverage.
