Happy New Year

Been busy with a number of things, and though I shouldn't be working on it right now with what else I have to do, I found myself compelled to do a rough-cut of the 1st five scenes on GOH.

Too early to talk about, but here's some random un-color-correct frame captures from the movie.

Have a great New Year's!

Okay, big pickups done...

So it was a crazy week. We went out in the 21 degree night and shot a fight scene with two actors who couldn't wear coats in the scene. (2 and 6/8 pages done)

I think they had fun, regardless of how much whining they did.

Then this weekend we polished off 13 and 2/8 pages.

One more big pickup(technically one scene, but it's like 9 pages and contains a big fight and 1 heavy effect) is all that's left to film. (though there's some wish-list shots that we may get if the stars align)

Not sure when we can get, but I'm working on a teaser--good news and bad news though; there's a deal on the table for my previous flick "Bounty", and now I have to go actually make the dvd supplements(Making Of, commentary)...and they're due in the next 2 weeks.

So the teaser may not be as fast as I'd hoped. Here's some pics from the pickups. Thanks to everyone who came out and helped us out!

 Judy Furlow as Dena. No, she'll be fine. 'Tis a flesh wound...

 Okay, this is actually Rob Ziegler who wanted a picture in the bondage mask in our "Christmas" room.

 This is one of the P.A.s who didn't move fast enough for Jared.

 Richard Cutting celebrating a little nod to FOC

Richard Cutting, action hero...

What? More Pics?

A side note...the new edit computer is ready for action. Today I actually start taking a look at footage. Kind of excited, but also pretty scared to see what we missed.

But me and Harvey Glatman got some tricks up our sleeve, so I'm sure it'll be cool.

Here, pics.

 Superstar in the making, Danielle Lozeau, in a scene

where she completely surpassed our(mine and Luke's) expectations

 Bondage masks can be fun. Hot, but fun.

Okay, really just hot. And creepy.

My favorite pic of the shoot.

I can't tell you what I'm doing here because it's illegal in 32 states,

but maybe if you buy me a drink sometime...

Richard Cutting as Owen, Carl Stevens as Leon, and John C. Bailey as Tom

Me and Rob Dimension, who was a real sport and

came out just so we could put his head through a wall. Repeatedly.

More Pics...

Know what she's saying while she dances this crazy jig of joy? 

"I'm on a Kangas set! I'm on a Kangas set!"

Candy...Jared's future wife.

Kimberly Kerr getting her pole dance on.

Kaitlyn Huffman trying to conceal the feisty.

Jared, his Red, and his shadows

After Richard shot Jared, the production got back on schedule.

Lauren Russell showed up to be an extra, and ended up 
being an integral part of the movie.

Upgrade!

Posts to come, but first, some pictures...

 The insanely-talented Danielle Lozeau, with some creepy dude watching her. (Frederick Cowie!)

 Ryan Thomas, Lauren Lakis, and fish face. I mean, Jessy Danner.

 Bet you wish you showed up to be an extra now, don't ya? 

Leanna Chamish and Kimberly Kerr doing their best to make the men forget their lines.

 My artist pal Rodger Schultz with Bob Haag and Leanna Chamish.

 Barbecue on night 1, which was more or less a disaster.

 The invaluable Noah Schaftel. This is the only moment in 2 weeks

he stopped long enough to shoot a picture of him...

Danielle and Lauren, reunited(and it feels so good)

 The crew. They only look 12 years old. (They're really 16)

 Lauren Lakis plays Liz, second movie in a row...

Bob Haag plays "Grant"

Jason Koch and Kaleigh Brown work on some FX for Jessy Danner

Bella in her dominatrix stuff

Visual embodiment of "splitting headache"

Heather England, one of the more gorgeous(and reliable) of the extras...
