Well, another day without any Parker scenes. For the second billed actor I sure haven't had a ton to do yet. Who wrote this screenplay? Parker should be in every scene! Oh, wait a second... I wrote it (with help). I've got plenty of scenes coming up. It's been kind of nice sitting back and watching the other tremendously talented actors do their things. And it's fun sticking my head in scenes once in a while just for fun. :)
We shot in the basement for the first time tonight. The lowest level of the LeDuc is amazing. Earth accounts for most of the floors in the basement and the natural stone walls and extensive halls and room arrangement give it a catacomb feel. Phil and the guys created a green-tinted hue down there that looked amazing. Pair the atmosphere with Anna's incredible performance and we came out with some more groovy footage.
In the above paragraph I used the phrases "green-tinted" and "groovy." I don't suppose anyone reading remembers a song by Mr. Big called "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind." Look it up on iTunes. I think I'm going to go download it now. I miss that song like I miss Frankenberry.
We had some dead bodies on set tonight. Nicole (makeup) and Kat (Asst. DP) paled themselves up and laid on the dirt floor in the basement. Casey (grip) was nice enough to sweep away the bat poop before they laid in it.
At the end of the night we picked up a couple inserts for the dinner scene that was shot 10 days earlier. Luckily I had cut the scene together and realized we missed a couple angles. We didn't have to set the entire room; we just needed to match candles and small portions of the background since the shots were so tight. We did, however, need to set up track and the dolly to stay consistent with the camera movements of the scene. It was worth the effort to get the inserts because the scene will now cut together a little better. Sometimes a little better can make all the difference.
