Started slow…..

Friday, November 30th, 2007

……but ended up doing a lot.
We were supposed to get right into our major fx sequence today but the usual happened: things changed. We had a makeup thrown our way that was not on the schedule for today. I understand why as the actor’s last day was today, but still…..it was a surprise. The makeup [...]

Lunchtime entertainment

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Two crew members goofing off at lunch. Always good for a laugh!

Breakfast?

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I forgot about this vid I shot early on. This was a dare from one of the cast members and Hannah said she’d do it, no problem.

A long, boring day

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

7:15pm
Here’s Tommy after spilling his coffee in his lap.

Well, it seemed like we were going to get a lot shot, today, but nooooooo. We did some green screen work with 2nd unit, then 1st unit pulled us away. But, before shooting anything they broke for lunch. After lunch we did some shots but for the [...]

Back in the studio

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I am so glad to be back in the studio. No more long drives to and from the location.
Our call time today was 2pm. Crew call was 9am but we weren’t going to be needed till later. We started between 9 and 10am though. We had our truck to unload and then get it all [...]

Back to work….and Plain Dealing

Monday, November 26th, 2007

I got on a plane leaving LA around 4:30. I knew I’d be up for quite awhile so I “prepped” for the long night ahead of me.

I arrived back in Dallas at 11:30pm. I headed out from the airport on the way to Plain Dealing at about 12:45am. I pulled into Plain Dealing at 3:30am [...]

Driving to Dallas

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

I said I wasn’t going to be posting anything until after I got back from the Thanksgiving break but…..oh well!
I got about 1 ½ hours of sleep last night. I got up at 12:45am, got my stuff together, filled up the tank, got a large coffee and then hit the highway. I had just over [...]

Rain

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

And lots of it!
A thunder and lightning storm rolled through Plain Dealing today…..and, boy, did it pour down! For about 40 minutes we had a great show in the sky. Lots of dark clouds, flashes of lightning and deep rolling thunder. Oh yeah….and the rain. It rained pretty good for about 30 minutes but at [...]

New suit

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Man, was it muggy today! Got up to around 80°F and there are isolated thunderstorms coming into the area. It was hot and sticky!
We had two new deals today. We had Marty in his suit and it looked wicked! He did some stunts in it and was just a nut.
We also had a chest makeup [...]

Shaggin’

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Today was an interesting shoot day. We had one of the beasts shagging just about everything that moved. Some stuff was over the top but some was pretty funny. It was mostly shot on 2nd unit and even then we had to put up “blacks” around where we shooting to block anyone from seeing it. [...]
