Friday 6.9 - The great film crew day

Casa Montana is going up for sale.  To that end, the owner Ms Anne, is making a video to showcase the property on the internet.  I for one can't wait to see the finished product!  Hal is the local realtor Anne has hired to help sell the place and the Medical Tourism business Anne runs in addition to the hotel.  So, to add a twist to the excitement, David is also on site to make the second video about the Medical Tourism Business.  You got all this?  Two separate films, one camera crew from Guadalajara and a small room to work in.  Now, bring in 4 customers of the Doctor for testimonials, the Doctor himself, a makeup artist, and add Hal doing on camera shots and voice overs, plus a few on location shots and this could be the script for a Hollywood thriller.  I play the handsome leading man?  Turns out the film crew has another appointment in Guadalajara in the afternoon so our time is precious and very short.  Sort of an action thriller as time runs out and we squeeze every second into filming.

Anne was kind enough to invite me to the set and nobody was smart enough to kick me out, so I spent the morning standing in the way, then moving over into somebody else's way.  It was fun to watch everyone else work.  Reminded me a lot of way back when, before I retired.  If I had only been paid to be here...   Oh well, I'm still the leading man!

A candid shot of Anne and the Doctor going over the July schedule.

*Note: Alejandro is acting as a human teleprompter,  He slowly scrolls the script while Hal reads it into the camera that Admin is using.  It worked perfectly once we moved the camera close enough so Hal could see to read it.

Setting up for Hal's shot.
