After 5 days of shooting the 90 mile desert crew were growing tired of gregan's slavedriving.


Also just got this great pic from Dragan........thats right Dave keep leaning over.....

It's over! no more MAPS 07 films, boo hoo!!



Hey guys

well this is my post 90 mile desert blog. As i am currently exhausted as I write this. We also just moved to the city which means I have had no sleep on the weekend either.

anyway the shoot went great, I was tearing my hair out with stress about the weather situation. All the weather reports said we would experience rain, but no not callington believe it or not. Yep no rain all week, although it did drizzle down on Friday. However God must like me a bit since Just as we finished the very last shot of the film on friday as we started to pack up, it started to pour down. Ha HA! how lucky is that. I will now point out the good and bad points of the production, i am sure there is more but I am too tired to think.

The good: Tha actors were great. The most amazing part for me was during the dream sequence it got really heavy, and Jamie just nailed it. Seeing his performance on screen made the whole thing worth while.

Also on friday we had a big extra's days, I was worried that we would have no extra's come but believe it or not about 10 people showed up, all of them dressed the part to a tea, They looked great and definately added production value to the film.

The bad: A particular make-up artist who will remain namesless, pulled out on me at the last second. DAM!!!
Have to pay the football club $20 for use of their power, man i really am cheap.

Well really things weren't too bad at all and you must expect some things not to go right.

Lets just hope it all cuts together, and yet another adventure begins.

toodles.

p.s a big thanks to my wonderful crew. Maxx for his fabulous camera work, Jen for sound. Dan "multi-talent Vink"- for sound and lighting.

I told you I'm not Fuckin Gay! (and back tot the dead).




Hello people

Well we are currently in our second week of production. Because I am neither on jen's or annies shoot I am using the week to tie up loose ends, find props, and rehearse actors, this is happening on tuesday.

I was lighting on Dan vink's back to the dead. Everything went down smoothly and there were no major hick up's. I got to play a zombie who gets brained with a meat mallet, my head being bashed into a bloody pulp.

otherwise currently attempting to get some shelter for Jen's "the ogre" this may or may not prove easy.

p.s I am not Gay!, am I Mr. Cleary???
