New York, Brooklyn Studio.
The largest Stage One was set up as the three main filming locations: a bar, a theater, and an old apartment.
First Assistant Director Steve Downton, following Martin's instructions, was directing the set and props teams to modify several unsatisfactory areas.
Editor Joel Negron had joined the team early and was sitting in a quiet area flipping through Martin's storyboarding, observing the shooting from start to finish for the ease of post-production editing.
The lighting crew was adjusting the lights.
Director of Photography Jeff Cronenweth stood in front of the laid-out camera track, discussing with Martin the shooting of the first scene.
Not only had Martin prepared storyboards, but he also clearly communicated the desired camera effects.
After a while, Steve Downton joined them, and the three huddled together for a lengthy communication.
