Today was our last day of filming, and I have never felt so relieved. Ironically, this was the most crucial scene in the whole film, and we saved it until the end. After our last heated debate, we got Siena to agree on the residential elevator. Filming went smoothly. When we were there, we weren't interrupted even once. The elevator was great. Since it was outdoors, the concrete was a great transition from the parking garage, so it looks like we filmed both scenes in the same place. Unfortunately, one of the light tiles was out of place, so we pushed it around until it looked presentable enough for the video.
The poster fits perfectly above the buttons, precisely where we wanted it. It took a few takes, but we wrapped up filming after about half an hour. I was a little disappointed in the acting. Siena was doing okay, but Ash wasn't giving me the energy I wanted. Her argument was that Riley is supposed to be more nonchalant, and while I agree, she wasn't giving enough energy to be someone who just decided to go on a treasure hunt with a random stranger. Siena said she was doing fine, which means I was outnumbered, so we didn't redo the scenes. At one point, I thought we broke the elevator because I was standing in the doorway so it wouldn't close to get a shot, and I guess I had it open for too long because it started beeping. I quickly moved out of the way because I don't know what I'd do if I broke an elevator in a neighborhood I didn't even live in. I noticed that everyone looked a little happier when we were leaving. The movie was taking a toll on them more than I realized. I'm just glad we have all the shots now, so I can start editing. We were way under time, but I am satisfied with the number of clips we have now. Here's a behind the scene picture of the girls in the elevator:
