Nine more wake-ups for production

"10, 9, 8," today we start the countdown to the end of "Zoey 101". We are shooting the last two episodes of the show.

The creator of the show, Dan is here so there is one more layer the director has to permeate in order for a take to be completed. It was maddening enough to listen to the producer to direct, "Can she say lower her hand a little, it looks awkward." The minute concerns of someone who is nice enough but won't step and take the leap and simply direct an episode. I think George wants deny ability if he screws up. Having someone else direct enables him to say, "It wasn't my fault."

We will be out in the heat for the 7 out of 10 days on these, the last two shows. I will be out doors the rest of the days and nights.

As the Set Medic, this show has been low key. The crew is very appreciative of "The Cart" i.e. the presentation and variety of medications. TV crews are generally not a high maintenance as feature film crews.
