That's a Wrap!!
6/25

 

   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.
 

We wire Tony...for death!   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!
 

Only one can survive!   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.
 

Bad Mother----  Shut yo' mouth   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!!!
