"Requiem for a Soda" Photo Tour

We got it all shot in one day, and I only had to call people back on two separate occasions (thanks for your cooperation and graciousness, DJ and Andi).

Here's the tour.

Most movies use large puffy blue mats for their stunts. Or at least a bed mattress. We used a single chair.

On rollers.





Drew and Paul celebrate no broken bones.

The lighting studio tended to encourage spontaneous posing.

Some day . . . real sets.

The script required Matt Brown to sit on a bench and drink from a can. It was a lot colder than it looks.

Drew did an admirable job protecting the camera with the patchwork umbrella he McGuyvered. (Look at the handle and the background directly behind him.)



Eric Nelson is the star. Plus, thanks to his FM-90 hook up, he got us free Papa John's. Hurray Eric!

Drew busts out his patented angry eyes.

Andi aptly imitates my round-faced, wide-eyed storyboard drawings. As for Eric, this is called, after all, "Requiem for a Soda."

Thanks to Andi, Paul, DJ and whoever else might've snapped the odd photo.
