The good: Accomplished all we set out to accomplish
The bad: Went over schedule again
The ugly: That was one creepy dude in Chloe's bedroom!
Another very successful day on set. We started at an apartment in Eden Prairie where we picked up a scene with Chloe (Emily) and Jazz (Anna) packing their bags. If I didn't know better I'd swear Anna and Emily have been friends for years. They have great chemistry and perfect timing, which is key to selling the realism of the movie.
After the packing scene, we got a quick shot of a very creepy image. Just a quick scene in the movie, but thanks to Jay's (Key Grip) great lighting idea, the image is sure to cause some uneasiness in the audience. Not in a gross or supernatural way, but just a general creepiness. I got goosebumps when I saw it!
After packing up at the apartment we moved on to Edina Grill where we ate a wonderful meal, chewing between stories, laughter, and singing. Every time Chad orders the meatloaf I can't help but break into a chorus of Paradise by the Dashboard Light. He loves it when I do. (Where is the sarcasm key on this keyboard?)
Then the crew got to work and set up for one of the trickier shots in the movie - a slow tracking shot through a crowded bar that ends at the booth where Chloe and Jazz sit. Kat (First Assistant Camera) positioned herself on the dolly and pulled off a great shot! Several setups and hours later we wrapped in time to beat the morning rush hour.
The Edina Grill treated us very well and fed our entire cast, crew, and 15+ extras through the night. Many thanks to Amy, Jason, Steve, and the rest at the great restaurant at 50th and France!
And again, many thanks to the outstanding cast and crew that are bringing Horror House together. I am undeniably blessed by you all!
