Playing catch up here

I'm a week behind now. Tuesday a week ago went quickly. We really only shot one sequence of the lawyers walking, along with finishing a closeup of Harold. It was an interesting night because it highlighted some of the aspects of acting that are often ignored. When most of us think of acting, we picture someone delivering lines, but that's only part of the job. The rest is waiting around. I'm only half kidding, but there are many times when you have to perform with your body, or simply just walk somewhere on camera. You think it would be easy since it's just walking, or looking at something. We do those things instinctually off camera, but on camera you're making your body do something instead of simply responding reflexively to what is happening in real life. When you try to think about what you're doing in that regard, or are trying to make yourself do something you wouldn't normally do with your body, it becomes a lot harder. For any of you who've tried acting and found it hard to deliver a line even though it was 'just speaking', it's the same thing with non-verbal acting.
