Four down... one to go.

Well, it was a good shoot tonight. Everyone knew their lines and I felt that it went by really quick. I shot my footage for the trailer, Heather did awesome in her little cameo role, Adrian and Natasha are all done shooting, I shot some exterior shots and now all that's left is the fight scene (or should I say the "Cronus getting his ass kicked" scene).

As I was saying, Natasha and Adrian are all finished up on camera so now all that's left for them and Pete is to dub their lines for the movie. Sometimes dubbing can be a long and tedious process, but the way Fox is dubbing this time around, it should be a piece of cake for everyone.

Anyway, here are a few pics that I had snapped in the middle of the shoot (while we were waiting for it to get dark outside).


Well, that's enough blogging for me. I think I'm gonna go fight some evil. Later guys.

Three down... two to go.

We shot on Sunday, May 10th. It went well. Keir showed up to do his stuff and the first half of the last scene (with Adrian, Natasha and myself) is all kindsa done! Finally, we've progressed from three shoots left and we've advanced to having only two left. So, the next night of shooting will be tonight, the 14th of May. Again, it will be Adrian, Natasha and myself shooting the 6th scene of the movie... then Adrian and Natasha are done filming (they'll still have to dub their lines though). Also, I have to do some exterior shots, film some stuff for the trailer and I get to work with Heather again... YAY! :D

On a side note, it was my 30th birthday on Tuesday. Let me tell you... what a day! There weren't as many, "You're gettin' old" cracks as I had expected. Oh well, I was better off.

So, Fox did up a poster for Cronus and posted it on his blog and Facebook yesterday. I'll post it here but you should hop over to http://bureau51.blogspot.com/ to check it out or become a fan of The Monkey Rodeo Project on Facebook. Anyway, I'm tired and craving leftover ice cream cake. Later!

Two down... three to go (still)?

The shoot at the Lennox Place went OK. Certainly not as quick and smooth as our first shoot... but OK. It was Adrian (playing Lazerus), Natasha (playing Lillith) and myself (playing Cronus) on the roster for the night. Lines were fudged, I didn't shave, Adrian did his best to show up as early as possible (he was working tonight) but he showed up as soon as we were losing our "get-up-and-go" and people applied there own make-up (which is always fun). It's going to be a close one because Natasha leaves for Toronto on the 26th. Anyway, the office scene (not the one where my little/BIG cousin John, who plays Pete's charter Bofa's enforcer, kicks the ever lovin' crap outta me) is done. I wish that we could have gotten more done (waking up early evening and running off of no steam without coffee is not one of my strong points) and I guess we're still stuck at three nights of shooting left. At least we were able to shoot some outside stuff as well as get a little comfortable with the scene we weren't able to complete tonight. Let's hope that we can get that countdown starting again. Anyway... I'm tired, I haven't had a coffee yet today, I'm hungry and I want booze. Later.

One down, three to go...

The first shoot for Cronos went by surprisingly fast yesterday. Other than a few of us mucking up our lines (myself, guilty as charged) and Keir being a no-show, the shoot was awesome. Everyone had no problem getting into character and following direction. I'd have to say that for me, the best part of the shot was being able to work with some new faces. Natasha, Adrian, John and Pete hit their marks and I certainly hope to work with them again after this project. Anyway, there are three more shoots left. I hope that they go as well as the first.

Fox did a wicked job with the prosthetics. If you follow his blog, you'd know that he has been making his own prosthetics and this is the first film that they have been used in. The best part about these prosthetics is that they are custom made for all of the actors involved. We (the actors) have all went through the process of having alginate poured on our faces to make molds for sculpting a mold and Fox sculpts, bakes and paints the actual prosthetic. It's an interesting process... you should definitely go to his blog to check it out. He is definitely becoming more and more proficient at it and I can't wait to see what his future prosthetics look like. He also did a good job at directing us. I'm looking forward to see what's in store for us on Wednesday's shoot.

In other news, Dragonball Evolution didn't suck. It didn't rock (like I was hoping it would) but it didn't suck... that's all that matters. Will a sequel happen? More than likely not, but it was nice to see at least one live action DB film. So other movies that I'm psyched about for the most awesomest month of the year would be Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator: Salvation and Up. The summer looks a little bleek for movies. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is scaring the ever loving crap outta me (because it's so up in the air on whether or not it will be good), Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince should be good (Ralph Fiennes is always golden in anything he does... even Strange Days), Halloween 2 is looking more and more like a bloated piece of crap with every viewing of it's painful trailer and G.I Joe... I can't really tell if it will kick ass or blow goats.

Well, that's enough rambling for now... I gotta go fight evil and get back to work. Later.
