Shooting the scene in the pawn shop

If you were an unemployed middle-aged man with a family, trying to find a job and also scrape together enough money to fulfill your obligations, at a certain point you´d likely find yourself in a pawn shop.  Especially now, in the economic crisis.

Luis (Antonio de la Malena) counting the cash he got from the jewelry he sold.

You´d find yourself in a pawn shop looking for ready cash.  You´d do all you possibly could to avoid selling that piece of jewelry your beloved mother or father left you, and you´d certainly try to avoid selling your wedding ring, but if you had any other piece of jewelry of value that you had purchased in better times, you´d try to see what you could get for it.

Paco, the pawn shop owner, waits on Luis.

With that thought in mind, we shot a scene in which our hero, Luis (played by Antonio de la Malena), goes into a pawn shop and sells a gold ring he has.  I´m posting some of the photos here from that shoot.

It being a fairly simple scene, director Eve A. Ma did double duty as camera person.

Enjoy.
