And I finally get into the costume I had spent a week building. and holy crap I looked good! I had worked with the Brotherhood Pictures guys before, and i really love the long days on shots. Black slacks, polyester shirt, suit coat , and trench coat. running lines in 104 degree weather. I was sooo hot the entire day. We got a lot done, it was a great time, and it is always good to learn new things.
