This is an all-around type of question, but where do some of you draw the line at the number of pages per day? I'm about to jump into a one-location, 13-page short which we'd love to do in one day, but I just don't think it's possible. It's a lot of dialogue, which helps, and the action and camera work is efficiently mapped. But 13 pages??? I just don't know.
What's the highest number of pages you've accomplished in a day, without sacrificing crew or performance?

Michael Fitzer, MFA Based upon your description that seems doable however quite ambitious. Perhaps shoot what you can and save some close-ups, inserts, establishing shots, etc. for a pick-up day with further reduced crew. And do a pre-edit page count reduction if possible.
