Our flashback scene proved to be a creative and smooth endeavor for Desert Wasteland.
Today's scene focused on movement shots to creatively portray Melania's childhood memory (played by Taylor Vau).
The challenges we faced were small yet critical; we needed to shoot this scene after the sun went down, but before Taylor's bedtime. We had two crane shots, a slider, and several close-ups to take care of before then.

We set up and rehearsed camera and crane movements as quickly as possible as we raced against the setting New Mexico sun.
Our first crane shot proved to be the trickiest as it was a on a dolly. As the dolly moves forward, the camera swipes down from the sky ending close to the ground. Any slightest bit of dirt on concrete will severly affect the shot- the area must be thoroughly swept.
The race of time was the fire that was keeping us moving. We finished all our shots just in time for bed : )
