The Agents meet! "Redemption"

We started to set up for the scene today and fast realized that getting it dark enough for the scene was going to be hard. We started by just closing the blinds but that wasn't enough, we had light leaking in everywhere! We blocked the light from the blinds with a flex fill and then the door windows with towels, taped up with electrical tape. A lot of electrical tape!

The next challenge was creating a harsh enough light so that the actors were only lit from one side. We didn't have much to work with but we ended up just using a desk lamp. It worked nicely and the shots came out very dramatic. We had the ISO and F stop way down on the camera.

When JD Rodriguez showed up we started blocking through his scenes. He did amazing. Then Ian Askew showed up and we officially started blocking both characters. We went through the lines multiple times and ironed out all the character's mannerisms. When we started the shooting both actors were very comfortable with their parts.

The shots came out great and the acting was amazing. We can't wait to see all this footage in post production edit! We have one scene left to shoot and then it's a wrap for the films shooting!
