Home!!

Praise the Lord, I made it home! It's great to be with the family again!

The Thursday night shooting ended up being rescheduled to next week due to several people not feeling well and also technical difficulties...not to mention that it ended up being REALLY cold that night. Everyone was rather exhausted. It's still a great set, I'm looking forward to seeing the resulting scene from that location.

Here are some pictures as promised. These pictures were taken by set photographers Shannon and Sarah.

A precarious position.

This is what you use when desperate for something to disperse the fog. They worked so well that any item used to disperse fog is now called a pizza box :)

Ethan (DP) - Chad (Director/actor) - Me (second Camera, editor, grip, PA, anything else they need done) :p

A few of the team after a night shoot.
Me, Aaron (Artos), Chad, Ethan, Dustin (Ethan's bro), David Thompson (crew)
Rebecca (Artos' sister), Mrs Burns (Artos' mom - but actually Chad's mom)

Fun scene...need I say more?

Pendragon Filming 5

Tonight is the last shoot before I go home. I love working on this project but I will be extremely overjoyed to see my family again too! Three weeks is a long time :)

I will post more pictures from the trip once I get home....and spend time with my family.....and get some sleep ;)

Tonight will most likely turn out to be another all-nighter. Aaron, Nick, Nathan, Nathan (a friend) and I have been working on the set today. Actually they spent the majority of the time working on it, I was only there for a couple of hours. Maybe they will have some pictures on their blog from the shoot tonight.

more to come....

Pendragon Filming 4

Well, the team has survived the week of night shoots. Fortunately we only pushed daylight a couple of times, on average we were in bed by 4:30. There are a couple of pictures on the Pendragon blog from the week shoot. Unfortunately only a few pictures can be released in an effort not to give away too much of the story.

Today (Monday) we traveled three hours to Muskegon, Michigan to film some new scenes and to reshoot a couple of old ones. The scene for today was a church scene. We arrived around noon and started filming around six. Aaron and Nick did a great job of decorating the set, Marilyn and her team organized a load of costumes for the extras and also designed and made a completely new costume for Chad to wear and Ethan's hard work resulted in a nice lighting. There are many others who pictched in and helped out to make it all happen (oh, and I can't forget to mention the make-up team :)

At the end of filming the scene we had a grand round of picture taking. Hopefully I'll have a couple to post in the next couple of days.

We are staying at a hotel tonight and will continue filming tomorrow...

stay tuned....

Upcoming Schedule

Here is a small update on some big changes. Next week I will be at the regional ATI homeschool conference in Big Sandy TX, and I'm not planning to post any updates during that time. THEN that Friday, I fly up to Michigan to help with the final round of Pendragon shooting!! I'll be there for 3 weeks and shortly after I get back our family is headed to Mexico on a family mission trip/dad's business for about 10 days. (whew) SO - I'll be out of the loop for a while :) While I'm gone there is a whole list of links to Christian films in the sidebar, check 'em out.

Hang with me, I'll be back eventually! There will be updates aplenty then!

Just between you and me, I'll see if maybe I can't squeeze some info out of the guys while I'm up in Michigan ;)
