We had a good weekend on the movie... got everything done that needed doing, except for one scene on Saturday. But we got MORE done on Sunday, kind of making up for it.
I'm pretty much braindead by now. Had a good half day yesterday sitting by the pool hanging out at Michelle's, but then I came home and spent a couple of hours making fake rocks (17 so far, unspackled and unpainted).
Sunday we spent filming by the pond. It was a JUNGLE out there! The tweeting birds, spastic june-bugs (it's MAY dammit), mating dragonflies, frogs freaking out, fish in the background, airplanes circling over the goddamned set all day, a freaking PARADE of trains hooting their horns in the background, and the usual assholes drag-racing at 5:00pm, regular as clockwork.
Anyway, the post-production crew is going to have fun converting these day shots to night, and the sound crew will have a great thrill coping with the background sounds. I'm sure.
Other than nature, though, the scenes were great. Our actors rock.
Next weekend we have a handful of dead extras, we are throwing rocks at the house (See above), and we are SHOOTING PEOPLE! Woot! First camera test of the pneumatic squibs. Oh, and we are breaking out a window. If I can get the mold release. Which I should have had Friday. But I didn't. Ooh, it's 9 -- I can call them and see where my mold release is.
And I need to sculpt the leg for the climactic eating scene. And mold the organs that have been sitting there for the last few weeks. And...and....
/whoomp.
Sorry, my head just exploded. Gotta go now.
