Landon made yet another massive contribution to the production by finding Crystal.
Aided by Crystal's effortless make-up wizardry (magical references are so in vogue these days, aren't they?), we welcomed our 3 'students'...Jess, DJ, and Patrick. After Crystal transformed Jess into a goth princess (and a last minute addition of 3-d glasses to Patrick's character, thus morphing him into the one known as "SIX-D"), we packed up the troops and headed to Tewksbury to the home of Mike's Tree Service (thanks Dad and Jo Anne!). This served as our cemetery hilltop, as it was doubtful we could actually start a fire in a real cemetery (nor would we want to...)
Chuck was gracious enough to allow the use of his XL-2 in his absence, and our friend Rich F. stepped in and provided his much-needed skill behind the lens. Rich is busy these days (working on his own film) but was nice enough to give us his time in between his current shooting schedule. After some fumbling with the audio settings (I should have known where that panel was...sorry guys), we were on our way. Everyone gave excellent performances (and DJ also offered his patented "Disdainful head-shake", to much awe). It's unfortunate that we only had the one scene with these cast members. Hopefully we'll see them again in
future Burning Snowman productions...
Rebekah did a bang-up job of creating a very realistic Gothic gravestone...as well as getting authorization for filming in the gorgeous Forest Hills cemetery later in the month. As always, very, very impressive. She definitely didn't deserve Poison Ivy for her efforts...
Besides the bugs and the poison, a great shoot on a lovely evening.
More Later...
Mike
