Doing Anything's Magical Photo-Journey, Part II

My family came and stayed in Bemidji this weekend so that the colonel (and the hermit) could participate in the fifth day of shooting.



As you can see, I was pretty excited for the colonel to be here.

It was an all-day outdoor shoot, centered around a crazy man and his yard full of junk. Creating a yard full of junk was a problem in and of itself, but keeping the pile arranged just-so to avoid continuity errors proved to be one of the biggest headaches of the day.



I would occasionally have to reposition the junk when certain individuals took it upon themselves to arbitrarily move stuff around - though I'm not mentioning any names.

Though the hermit didn't have an acting part, his assistance was invaluable on Saturday.



He kept a constant eye on where we were in the storyboards (something that I struggle to do when I have to act) and he filled in admirably when we were short a cameraman.

Brian was also there to reprize his role of the nerd from Starting Tomorrow. A couple of times, the Professor snuck up behind Brian and hit him in the back of the head with a toaster. Amazingly, they're still friends (I think).

There would be a picture of that, but blogger isn't letting me upload any more right now. I'll try to put a few more up later.
