Scene
Int: The same non distinct kitchen.
As Karen and I run around like idiots getting wardrobe and props and everything together for tomorrow, she answers the phone over and over and over again getting all the extras for tomorrows shoot. This should be our last day time shoot for the Summer segment, and is by far the most complicated shots in the film.
While she’s busy doing all of that, I sit editing spring. No… I didn’t get it done for Halloween. That’s due to the flu that I got. When the temperature broke I thought it was over with. It wasn’t. So I spent the majority of this week feeling exhausted or nauseous. Fun! That’s also the reason for the lack of updates. I’ve dropped 11 pounds, and I really didn’t need to, so I’m a little woozy from the whole thing. But fortunately I didn’t get anyone else sick, and I’d still rather be ill, than deal with all of the details that Karen had to deal with this week.
We tried to shoot this last weekend, but just didn’t have the extras we needed show up, so this weekend Karen went gangbusters in making sure we had enough extras to get the shots we needed, and so have the cast and crew. Everyone is lining up people so we can make these last shots as good as they possibly can be, and I’m so pleased with the effort they’ve all put in. It really is wonderful to have such a dedicated group of people working on this project.
Speaking of dedication, I want to give a mad shout out to Derek, with our very first behind the scenes video post.
Once you watch the video, you’ll understand…. So without further ado, I’d like to introduce our first behind the scenes segment entitled “What Does It Take To Be An Actor?”
Thanks again to Derek for being dedicated enough to let us get it right…
And we have almost 3,000 people following the blog now. That’s unique visitors, not visits. So hi and thanks to everybody that’s following along.
that was fuckin great. I cant stop watching it. talk about a one sided fight
This scene is hilarious! My nephew and I were cracking up! I love the blog. 🙂
ROFLMAO!!!!!!! It looked like she was trying to find unbruised areas to attack.
Now, that guy has got some steel skin. I would have cried on the second take.
Dereck IS the man… between that and nearly drowning during his death scene… he’s earned his stripes. And there were 5 takes that aren’t in that video.
I agree. He is the voluntary gluten for punishment.
BTW, you should probably sleep more, that’s probably a big reason why you got sick.
what is this “sleep” you speak of?
It is something only the mystics truly know of. Something that comes from the bowls of the Druid lore, something that can only be deciphered from Stone Henge. They produced something very secret there that only I know of. And that secret remedy is called Tylenol P.M.
And this illusive antidote sounds so astonishing!
But, alas I fear this miraculous cure would cause us to go in search of a medicine man with great urgency!
And it would bewilder him at how fast a human could turn into a pumpkin!
And only after many shots and time would he regain his original form.
He is the only medicine induced shape shifter I know.
WOW, way to go Derek! and Elysse for that matter. MISS YOU GUYS!!! The last one was perfect!
