The 3-day shoot for my newest short film, EXHALATION, had just started. It's the biggest production I've ever taken (yes, even bigger than KINGYO).
Some photos from the film shoot today. I have only 4 hours to sleep before I get up at 5am for day two of the shoot.
The crew arrived at the location at 8:30am in the morning. Everyone started preparing.


As for me. I spent the time either going through the script and schedule with Maiko the Producer.

Or making fun of her height.

Occasionally I gave out manly screams to motivate the team.

Once my two main actresses, Kiki Sugino (also a producer of my film) and Shinohara Tomoe, were ready. I started giving abstract instructions.
"Both of you, when you speak... I want your words to simmer!!! SIMMEEEER!"

"Remember!!! SIMMER!!!"
