Project Greenlight: Laying Down the Law
Sunday, July 31, 2005

Later that day, around 3:30 P.M., Tom and John begin to argue about the next shot. John tries to work with John, but unfortunately, he keeps changing the shots which is frustrating for everybody involved. "People think you just move the camera, but it doesn't work that way," Tom explains. There's a lot more involved to setting up the shot, and as such, when changes are made it takes a lot of time. "When the director comes in, you have to direct your photographer," Ben says. "When changing the shots, everyone gets really upset at me," John notes, he just doesn't get that they are eating time away from the day's goals. "When he trusts somebody, he can communicate," Ben says. "You can see it as, this guy doesn't know what he wants. That's not John. John knows exactly what he wants, he just can't get it out." John talks about getting his feelings hurt, because nobody wants to trust him on set, because he just doesn't get that they are working on the schedule.

Krista Allen, who's playing Tuffy, doesn't know her direction, because John isn't talking to her about it properly. "It was a different process than I'm used to," she says. "We're also seeing he's having difficulty conveying his vision to the actors," Joel notes, which is worrying him, because they already see the break down between him and the crew. "I'm not comfortable with any human interaction," John says.

"That never happens," Joel says when Navi has to ask what's going on while something is being shot. John begins to tell her what to do, and the shot breaks down unlike anything anybody has ever seen on a movie set. However, Mike's getting worried that the other actors who have to be in the background of many of the shots, and they get bored standing around. One actor who had to take hours of makeup complains that he had to go through the whole process, and they might not get to his shot, because they are behind for the day.

With seven minutes left for the day's filming, they're still shooting a seen with Navi in the bar, and they manage to get through it and they wrap for the day. "People are starting to resent when they come in and don't get to work," Ben says. "It was apparent to talk about the gross inefficiencies. We did a great job and we also did a piss poor job." He lists his concerns that they didn't use half their cast for the day and wasted five grand for the day when they don't shoot that many cast members. "That's incredibly poor management. We shouldn't be leaving the set not knowing what we're shooting in the morning," he continues. John merely nods his head. "I had to kind of lay down the law."

"We're becoming very frustrated," Joel notes. He talks to Diane about the situation and how John is doing. She tells him that he feels that he's being artistically shunned and that it's become very personal. "I don't think they really trust him, yet," she says. "I don't think they like his way of shooting." Joel says, "Diane confirmed my worst fears. This could become an issue that compromises the movie."
