As the second day following a truly packed to the gills push to get through to film WAIGLY it was a welcome to be mostly at a single location shoot, with all story beats outside of the performance were handled by a skeleton crew en-route to the shoot location on the day.
My team and I constructed a 1000sqft stage on top of a mountain to allow for the band to play in front of an unexpectedly snowy vista.
Freezing temps throughout the morning, gave way to rain, followed by snow in the evening in to the night. Tahankfully with the introduction of some lighting to the stage and an LED display panel mounted to a truck we were able to execute ahead of schedule and get everyone out of there before they froze.
