Lavelle W and I were the 2 people who had to film in the gym today. I used my tripod since there was no cameraman and I forgot the one prop we were using, a snicker's bar, however thankfully we decided to cut the second half of the gym scene where the prop was used. Other than that it was a successful day with no big issues at Crunch Fitness where we filmed.

Production: Location, location, location
Since it's a boxing movie we will of course film at the gym. It is also a teen movie so half of it will be filmed on campus in a hallway and outside on benches. This is done to fit the style of a teen boxing movie.
