BBB - DAY 2 - FILMING

My alarm clock went off this morning, I pressed the snooze button and fell asleep. I kept doing this until I realised it was like 8am. Shit! I was supposed to be on set at 7am. I quickly jump out of bed, throw on some clothes and run out the door.

I arrive to the set by 9am to realise we haven't started filming yet. Thank god. However I feel bad that I wasn't here to setup. We're in the process of blocking the scene. The first scene we are shooting today is in the library. The Actress playing the libarian is apparently a professional Actress that was on Superman as well.

Today we also have parents on set. It feels weird having parents sit there and watch while you are trying to film. This was the first time I was on set with parents. One of them wasn't even paying attention. He had his newspaper out reading it haha

As were preparing for the scene, those that are not in it are getting their makeup done:


Once we are ready the filming process begins in the Library:

The entrance scene - as the girl walks into the library:

Just to make it clear, this is an earlier scene than what we shot yesterday. Basically this girl walks into the library to spot her sister flirting with some Asian guy in the library. She storms off to tell her sister's boyfriend who is playing basketball in the hall.

By the time we finished filming all of this, it was time for lunch. As mentioned we have a professional Caterer on set. She's abit wacko but makes me laugh. She was cooking us beef burgers today:

As we are munching away on the yummy beef burgers this random dude arrives. Now this guy is totally weird. Guess what? Apparently he is the one who wrote the script haha Anyway he is here to block the fighting scene that is about to occur in the next scene. Now this guy is loud and doesn't take shit from anyone. The way he see's it, is that it's his movie and he will do it however he wants to. Hence this created tension on set.

As this is happening, we have camera 2 preparing. We have a travel camera that can follow around to gain a 360 degree approach of the scene. I love it!

Meanwhile Tony's dad arrives with mattress for the fighting scene. We need the actors to have a soft landing. All stunts are to be done by the actors. Yes we do have a stunt coordinator.

It's time for a rehearsal. The plan is for Andy to fall onto the Mattress:

The outcome:
It was another long day and the 1st AD looked like she was about to bitch slap anyone in her way. Lets not get on her wrong side man.

As this was the final shoot, I decided to get a cast photo. I believe there is a website coming...
