Houston, we have a...

Okay, so I went to look up Tape 9 and what was on tape 9 at 46 min and 40 secs was not a CU of Bill, as it was so designated in my log notes. I fast-forwarded. 47:25? No. 49:08? No.

Uh-oh.

51?

Nyet.

So I went back to the PEDL copy that is sorted by tape rather than by scene to see if what I was seeing on the tape was in fact logged as Tape 9 at some point -- and yes, indeed: it says, "Tape 9, Scene 13, no take # [because we were practicing a zoom over and over without slating in between], 46:50 - M turns to cam already in CU."

Hmm.

This is the footage of Larry walking in on Marissa while she's dressing, and then Marissa walking in on Larry while he's washing his shirt in the sink. Pretty good stuff, actually! :)

But not Bill in the kitchen cursing about what a loser Marissa's ex is.

So I turned a couple pages and there at the end of Tape 9's log is another page -- the page I'd been looking at in the copy sorted by scene -- with Tape 9, 46:40 again!

???!!!

This is a problem.

Where the bigeezis are my close-ups of Bill??

I turned the page again and this Tape 9 notation continues -- The Bill CUs had stopped at 51:10 and this one picks up at 51:20, with "Rachel's bare feet walking on RR trax with dried leaves around" and th wild turkey we saw in street!!!!!!

I repeat for emphasis: !!!!!!

LAME!

Hm. When I logged originally, I did it from the SLP VHS tapes that the DP made as copies so I could play them on my TV (had no camera to play DV tapes at that time). Maybe one is mislabled?? Orrr....

Anyway, I checked Tape 19, just in case. I'll check 8 later - and 10? But I can't be looking through all 29 tapes (uhh... 28 tapes). What the hey?? Although maybe I'll have to...

There are a couple CUs of Bill on the end of Tape 3, but the ones I circled as good were on this mystery tape. Hmm.

Ridiculous.
