DAY 50: WRECKAGE AND DEBRIS!!!

Heehee! I filmed one of two shots involving the wreckage and debris of the blown up smoker jail (the cause of the explosion will not be revealed until the film is released). I had to start over a few times because I accidentally moved some of the loose pieces, but I got it done pretty fast. The next shot will involve some bloodiness, so I concocted some blood from honey and food coloring, so it looks pretty globby and realistic. The jail guard's hand gets blown off, so that's the reason for all of the gore. Unfortunately, there is no lieberman (bad pun for those who remember the 2000 presidential elections). I'm going to try to get the rest of Scene 3 done by the time I head off on vacation for two weeks. My original schedule said I would be halfway done with filming by this point (approximately 10 minutes worth), but I am just now on the brink of having filmed three minutes. That's a difference of 7 minutes. Hopefully I can make it up somehow.

These last few nights I've gotten a lot done, although last night I didn't film because I was busy working on a digital model for one of the sets in my new project I've come up with. I thought it up as an IDEA entry a few days ago, but since there's really no time to enter the contest now, I'm thinking about making the same concept into a regular film. Be warned, it involves a church! Basically it's about a guy who lives in this extremist theocracy and is the only one in the society that doubts its principles. So he flees and discovers (hence the IDEA tie-in) the reasoning behind the cause that he is so against. Ooh, scary! The working title at the moment is "The New World." It may be my next project after this.
