Your Vote Counts – Opening Scene Complete
by admin on Nov.10, 2008, under Film Production
I’ve already talked with some of my friends here in Florida about what this scene entailed. It’s amusing, and vulgar, and other variants of those same two words. It took around 16 takes or so to get the perfect shot. Only a couple were my fuck-ups. Mostly the director was just wanting to get more emphasis or a different type of tracking shot. The absolute last take was the one he will probably use in the film’s cut, but we have plenty of backups if for whatever reason it needs to be changed. It only took about an hour and half, including setup, to shoot and wrap that scene. I was happy with it, David, the director, was happy with it, and the film with open with a jaw-dropping hilariously disturbing scene of me.
The character I play has become more and more interesting as David and I work together. Already, he wants to write another couple scenes, just to amplify how big of a douchebag Barry Dease actually is. I’m fine with that, especially if it entails me acting like a complete asshole. Something about being a jerk is just fun.
In either case, I hope we can get enough scenes shot within the next couple weeks that David will cut together a trailer of some kind. If he does I will definitely post it.
