Scene 18...

...is now done.  It's the one where Rachel EA couldn't ever hit her mark when hopping up onto the bed, and Rachel AO gets to do the clap-off/clap-on light in Jenny & Mark's bedroom -- with Cynthia's help at the actual non-diagetic light switch.  "Are you asking if we were naked?"

"Scene 19" was supposed to be a shot of Marissa in bed, waking up, her blond ponytail hair visible on a chair nearby -- but we never actually shot this because we never found a bedroom for her.  I'm hoping to eventually shoot a pony tail on a chair _without_ Marissa waking up - ?  I think?  We'll see. Anyone else want to shoot that for me?  Anyone got a blond ponytail??

"Scene 20" is just a transitional shot of Carson Beach at dawn.  I'm also not sure we got quite the right shot of this.  We got lots of Carson Beach at dawn, but somehow, in like 20 minutes of "dawn" we just never seemed to get a shot I like for the right duration of time.  Not sure I've looked at it all, though.  We'll find something to go in there.

Scene 21 is really the next one I'll do.  This is when Marissa is at the beach at dawn and imagines Larry there, and then he appears, jogging.  It has that weird - "Is it live or is it ESP" quality, like when Larry imagines Marissa in his piano room, not too long afterward (a scene I already cut together - hooray!). 

Then 22, which is where Bill and Marissa talk too long over the Sunday paper and OJ about how she talks funny (saying things like "ne'er do well") and then she says she's going to meeting, and he says he's been thinking of going with her one of these days, and then SHE says:  "I'll believe it when I see it."  (Hey!  That's the name of the movie!) 

When that scene's done, I'll hit a clump of scenes I've done already which will feel good, because it will feel like I get to skip ahead some.    

Slow and steady wins the race.  Let's hope it gets the movie done.
