I'm back. It feels like I never
left. I had to come back this morning to film one more scene.
This is the scene where I finally snap fully and there is no turning
back. It's also the scene where I get to shoot Tony Moschetto!
Fun way to spend a morning. Tony actually has to shoot one
more scene with him and Lily. He gets to make out with her.
Bastard. The scene to the left was a tough one to shoot...Tony
and Don both kept cracking up. There's just something hysterical
about Moschetto ranting. I had to hide my face off camera
so they couldn't see me laughing. There should be some good
outtakes.
In order to make it look like Tony
was getting shot (we couldn't get permission to shoot the blanks
in the office...chickens!!!), we had to rig him with "squibs".
He had a rubber vest on to insulate him and little wires running
up to his chest. Myself, Don and Jane sat on the floor and
touched the wires to a nine volt battery to make them spark and
"explode". It looked really good. Although,
one of the "shots" went off before the camera started
rolling. We still don't know which one of us set it off...I
blame Jane!
I earned some more bruises and battle
scars today. And it's all my fault. Mark had a simple
shot of me coming up over the desk, shooting. Instead, I
have to come up with the bright idea of "how about I do a
roll out from behind the desk and come up shooting."
It seemed innocent enough on paper. I kept slamming my shoulder
on the floor. I really need a stuntman.
And
that's that. We finished up around 1:00 in the afternoon
and I was done. I lingered a bit, joked around with everyone,
and then hopped in my car to head home. I already spoke
about my feelings on the film and my castmembers in one of the
other updates. Everyone not only put in great performances
but were also a lot of fun to work with. There was not one
argument or fight on the set. That's amazing enough in itself.
Add that to the fact that most of the shooting days were long
and in shitty conditions and it's practically a miracle (ok, maybe
not on par with the Immaculate Conception, but still pretty damn
impressive). Thanks to everyone who has been reading these
updates and I hope you enjoyed them. I'll see you all at
the screening!!!
