raloriaWell...crap.
I emailed the director about my mistakes on Sunday night. Apparently the red light from my camera did appear in the death scene shot. Damn. He told me not to stress too much over it and that he hopes the light can be taken out during the color correction process. His final statement: "Stuff happens. Apology accepted." That's all well and good, but we only have the one take. What if color correction doesn't take it out? It's a vital scene...and I screwed it up.
I feel like an idiot. It was such a stupid mistake. An amateurish mistake. I never take photos during a take. If I do anything, I'll take a short video. But the camera was near the end of it's battery power and I couldn't take a video of that shot. The only thing I can use as an excuse is that I was tired and obviously not thinking clearly. It's still no excuse though.
Damn. I feel awful. Here I am trying my best to do a good job on the film and I mess up an important scene that we can't reshoot easily. I utterly failed Sunday. It was the worst job I've done on any film I've worked on. I'm going to have another good cry now and then try not to think about this anymore.
