How it's Done

Snuf Leamon of the curiously named "Snuf Film Productions" masterminded the special effects of our flick. Here's a behind-the-scenes peek at the most ambitious shot, minus the chainsaw noise. Actor Grant Hunker was actually the Director of one of last year's 8-minute features from the Advanced Cinematography class. Snuf and I were in class together for Basic Video last year; I hope he goes back into production soon so I can intern with him.

You Call That a KICK?

Lenny's My Uncle

I missed this on Veteran's Day because that was Day 1 of principal photography. Front page of the hometown newspaper!

Also using this post to give a shout-out to Uncle Ronnie (SMSgt, USAF, Retired) and Aunt Rena (USAF and Air Force Wife), Uncle Billy (MCPO, USN, Retired), Uncle Louie (USN), Lil Bro (USAF), Mom (Air Force Wife, Retired), and cousin-in-law "Stiggy" (USAF).

Plus all my Skivvy Nine buddies and the Army, Navy, and Marine folks with whom I've served to "Keep the Morning Calm."

It's a Wrap!

"Arizona Chainsaw Massacre" joined "Apprehension" "in the can" at sunset yesterday and my poor aching feet couldn't be happier. I don't think I've ever worked so long and hard on something other than National Security before. Friday night, I took a 20-minute nap in the driveway before unloading the truck. I should have taken a nap before driving home, but the outdoor horror movie set was way out in the ass-end of Marana AZ on Friday the 13th and I could almost hear the banjoes playing.

He's SUPPOSED to look Creepy

Ended first day of principal photography on "Apprehension" today. I finally got to put my budget police rig to good use by arming young Gabriel here. The last scene of the day was shot on school ground and our ersatz officer grew only cursory interest from the campus cop.

Here's Gabriel when he's not trying to look creepy.

Sunday Litany

Beer is the mind-killer.

Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my beer.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it's path.

When the beer has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

But Tequila?

Break it DOWN

After a Saturday training session, the RED-ONE wasn't so intimidating to us camera ops... except for the fact that the mofo costs $97,000!!!
