Flying home

Friday, December 21st, 2007

Got up around 8 this morning. Finalised my packing, loaded the car and headed out. I dropped off my apartment key, then headed over to the studio. I dropped off my room key at the production office. I then left for the airport. Dropped off the rental car and caught up with Mike who was [...]

Wrap, Day 2

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

I woke up at 7am! I only slept 4 hours but I could not stay asleep. So, I got up and started packing my personal stuff.
I was going to get over to the studio by 10am but that didn’t quite work out. I went out to my car, tried starting it and found out I [...]

Wrap, Day 1

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

We all got to the studio around 4pm and started getting everything ready for packing up. Rachel had been there for four hours already and had washed most of the blood off of the bodies for us.
We got a lot boxed up and ready for loading onto the truck tomorrow. It didn’t really take too [...]

It’s done!

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Man, what a day!
We had a call time of 1pm and we wrapped at 6am. It was a long, long day. Mike and I were both in our suits for most of the day, too, which made it feel even longer.
The day started off with a special effects shot…a big fire gag. The spfx guy, [...]

The Penultimate Day

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Had more beast fun today. I was in my suit and got “killed” by people attacking me. It all went well except for when Mike got one drop of “blood” in my eye. It’s blood that Gary makes and it’s really good but it has tons of detergent in it, for good flow and easy [...]

Short day, short post

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

We shot Melissa’s makeup again. She had to be in it for quite a few hours and it’s not a makeup you’d want to be wearing for long periods of time. She did really great though. I found out later that she was Tafted into SAG. I’m glad as she deserved it.
We also shot a [...]

A really good day

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

Today was a good day for our department. Did a lot of beastie action but the main thing that was fun was a new gag that came up. One of the actresses was to die today. Because of the writers’ strike, her death had not been written. She actually came up with a good way [...]

A much better day

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Today went much better.
We had Tom in his makeup, me in a suit for awhile and Mike in a suit for a bit. We also did a big gag with Craig, which went off well. My stuff in the suit was fun. I was running towards camera and went right over it
The only drag with [...]

A testy exchange

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Got in this morning and we went down to go through some blocking. It was stuff that was not scripted. Including some effects. The sequence is really long, too, and will take quite awhile to shoot.
Went up and put Tom’s makeup on. It’s always a good time when we work with Tom. Then went and [...]

Treena bustin’ it out!

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Found a video from last week that I forgot about. It’s stupid but funny. We were all tired and goofy.
