Thommy Schlamme remembers a busy, wet, night in DC.
We only had minutes before the sun came up to get a few very important shots of the President traveling in his limo. These were shot using a "poor man's process" in the Commerce Dept. parking lot. Our wonderful DP in Washington, D.C., Mike Mayers, who had no time to light this, resorted to holding an inky and running back-andforth along the side of the car, in the rain, to create the passing lights. This was the end of three long wet days and nights of shooting, and the exhaustion shows on Martin's face in this close-up, which fortunately helped illustrate the same feeling his character was having.
