Fast Food Friday

Friday was a pretty easy day at the office simply because we had been busting our butts all week. Review of this week: move the prop room into the "swag room", move the "swag room" into the storage room, move the kitchen storage room into the new prep kitchen, paint the prep kitchen floor and that brings us to Friday.

Since most things were done in the studio there was a lot of time for getting myself prepared for this season, ie. getting my daytimer organized, printing out monthly calenders, printing out the season schedule, and last but certainly not least... picking up the equipment for this season :)

Denise and I made the long trek down to B2 where we re-united with Dave. You guys remember Dave? He's the one that let me try on the Steadicam rig, the Easy rig, and helped us set up the jib when we first got it last season.

Everyone meet Dave, Dave meet Everyone :)

Anyway, it was awesome to see him again and pick up the 2 carts full of gear! Lots of equipment to play with and create those beautiful shots we all love to watch. After going through and checking that everything worked properly and everything was there we divided the equipment into 2 categories. 1) To Denise' car and 2) Take upstairs with us. Most things went in category 1, however things like the camera, 2 batteries, mics, monitor, lens, mattebox all went upstairs with us. 

As soon as we got upstairs and dropped everything off, Denise and I went down to "ENG/EFP Maintenance" and got the camera checked out and colours calibrated properly. This took a few hours so we couldn't really do anything else without the camera. So with this time, I got organized for the busy season ahead and also went downstairs to grab the box of discs that we'll be using this season :)

After the camera was ready to picked up, I went down, signed for it, picked it up, brought it back upstairs and just before ending the day met Denise downstairs and loaded everything into her car. I went back upstairs, packed up my stuff and headed home! It was time to go to the cottage :) So that's where I've been all weekend...jealous?

Oh, and the reason this post is called "Fast Food Friday" is because this season on S&C we're doing this thing that's called "Bring your lunch to work" instead of having to go downstairs to the food court everyday. However, on Friday's we're allowed to break the rules and go to the food court for some not so healthy lunches. The catch to this.

Squats. After lunch, the crew does squats for a minute to work off all the unhealthy food we just ate. Don't believe me.....

I'll leave you with that :) Talk to ya tomorrow!!
