Second Week of Pick-Ups

By Tony Vallone story, screenplay, associate producer

So we had our second weekend of pick-ups last weekend to get rid of the last of the "Scene Missing" title cards that litered throughout the film. We did two car rigs and a scene in a Psychiatric Hospital. This was the official last weekend of shooting, all that is left now is little inserts and B-roll footage - but we do have a film! Here are some pictures from the weekend:



We all thought we'd seen the last of the Tiede-Mobile. Here it is becoming a "drivable" picturecar.



If you were wondering why I put "Drivable" in quotes in the above caption, it is because this is what you see when looking out the windshield. It was a pain in the ass to drive but it got a lot of attention at the gas station.



Kevin our editor played the role of locaiton sound mixer for the weekend. Here he is doing nothing out of the ordinary.



The next morning we did our second rig, this time on a BMW. Notice how all of a sudden we found a bunch of furniture pads to protect the car from the mount - the Tiede-Mobile had no protection. And if we had put furnipads on the Tiede-Mobile it would be used to protect the Mount, not the car.



Hallway. Producer Dan having a cameo in the background.



This is what directing looks like in case you couldn't tell.



Human C-Stand.

There will be a gallery up this weekend with pictures from both pick-up weekends.
