Greetings, one and all! This blog week saw our first
shoot day, as Saturday we filmed the primary dialog sequences in the short. Thankfully
it only required costuming for two characters, and we managed to cobble
together a set from pieces of previous projects. Some elements like the blaster
and its holster were scratch built, while others like the comm unit were made
from various pieces of junked tech and then painted for weathering and consistency.
We had to race the oncoming heat wave, which isn’t expected to drop out of the “extreme heat” zone until after this blog goes live, to get this much done. It’s also not projected to dip down into temperatures where I can safely PlastiDip the new armor pieces until this weekend, so things are slowing down for a bit, but I guess that gives me more time to work on the helmets.
I must say it’s good to be back on location again. It’s strange that something that can be very stressful is actually good for my mental wellbeing, but there we have it. I guess there is a certain level of peace that comes from being where you’re supposed to be.
Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
