Nothing That Can Go Right Will

We only have one more scene left in this damn movie.  You’d think that we’ve figured out what were doing by now.  You’d be wrong.  I wouldn’t say everything was our fault, but still.  We’ll start with Angela.  She was going to be an actress for us, very nice of her to agree to do this scene.  She didn’t show.  Great.  Then a group of the loneliest guys in the world get on their phones and call all the lady friends they can think of.  Charlie, who actually turned out to be perfect, agreed to do the part.  Hooray.  Like idiots we sit around and do nothing while waiting for her.  After she shows we go to the site.  We forget to bring one of the props, for the second time that day.  Jack then applies the handcuff to his wrist, but we forgot the key.  Yep, total pros here.  The car we got for the scene was a stick, the driver we got for the scene couldn’t drive a stick.  Yeah, this was turning out to be a great scene.  We ran on a time crunch because of fading light.  Then after it was all said and done.  The van ran out of gas.

On a positive note, everyone laughed.  Andrew did a nice job of filling in for Lefty.  Charlie was a great sport about everything and did a nice job.  Jack learned how to take off in first gear.  Allan fulfilled his life long dream of being a stunt driver.  Shane made a lot more possible  by being around, wish we had him from the beginning.  And although nothing was perfect, it just might work.  As usual pictures are in the photo section.

One More Scene!

Boats, Bridges, and Chicken

The day ranked high on favorite shoot days.  All in all it was pretty efficient.  All the owner of the boat wanted was some Popeye’s chicken.  That made him awesome, because Popeye’s is awesome.  Hell, I want Popeye’s right now.  All joking aside, everyone thought they were awesome people…and they were.  If the whole movie was shot on that boat it would at least be fun shooting.

Things that sucked were the 30 mile trek to the site.   Also just had the head gaskets replaced on the van.  For whatever reason it over heated on the way back.  Half way across on a 20 some mile bridge.  That was fun.  The Motorist Assist guy was pretty awesome though, and so was the police man that we first encountered.  Wish we would have taken a picture with them.

Two more major scenes to shoot in principle photography.  That sounds awesome.

Bloody Cold

Well we finished off another actor.  This time it was Vaughn.  Hooray.  There was a lot of things trying to get us to cancel today, but in the end we prevailed.  I know some would have rather put this off, but this keeps us on track.  There was a lot of blood today, and in some ways that was bad because we all had blood lust.  Forgot a few little things we intended to shoot but we’ll make up for it later.  There are more pictures than there should be in the photos section.  We set sails next week.  Kill us some KGB Agents.

Enjoy.

Chilly Willy

It was Preston’s final day of shooting with us.  He got a nice vest to wear.  It was cold and everyone complained.  I wished  it was warm as well but I’m sure everyone would have complained then also.  Anyways, we had a hobo bottle pass and we all laughed for the most part.  All in all I think it went well.  Monday we shoot again and this time it gets messy.  Looking forward to it though.  Enjoy the photos.
