Shooting Nutmeg & Mistletoe Day #6 of 18

We started our 18-day shoot of our Christmas comedy called "Nutmeg and Mistletoe."

I decided I would just hit the record button, usually at the end of each day, with my thoughts what was happening that day? What I learned, and generally what being on set for 12 hours a day is like.
It is quite unfiltered and unedited (with the occasional beep) - hope you enjoy being backstage!

In this episode: Changing schedule to night, film not for some people, Santa's workshop, reusing soundstage props, inadvertently writing scenes that "ripple" when filming, 2 out of 18 days for one scene, coughing from smoke macnine, scanning in sets for backup, union constraints, Ripcord out of Lovable.
