Shooting goes well. These are two great actors, Dietrich and Thomas. They are exactly what I imagined for those scenes and I´m very happy I was able to get Thomas the very last minute after another actor became unavailable on short notice, actually only one day before shooting was to start. Thomas worked with Spielberg on SCHINDLER`S LIST ! I asked him how that was. Just big and great, he says. We started with long Steadicam moves along the corridor, which is prepped again with Flo´s different signs to give the impression of a large facility. It´s the old Star Wars corridor trick: After a take, the actors walk out of frame, to appear in another corridor the next take, continuing their long conversation. In fact, it´s always the same corridor, carefully outfitted with different signs, a different lighting and some electric gadgets out of Ralf Burmesters workshop, which are being glued on the walls to give more depth. Works great and again I catch myself marveling about the simplicity of the magic of films.
