That's a WRAP!
Two years and a day ago, I posted THIS.
Well, this flick was a bit tougher, but here we are, eight days, 89 hours of shoot time, 417 set-ups, and the nastiest sunburn of my life later, "DOCTOR GLAMOUR" has wrapped.
I don't know how to articulate my feelings about the shoot yet. Suffice to say, by day seven, I was nearly moved to tears by the incredible dedication and hard work on dislpay.
When you see this movie in eight months or so, remember that it was shot with only seven pairs of hands.

One day these people got through 104 shots. An action scene that was lip-synced precisely to music playback. Dozens of lighting change ups.Three to four part camera moves with no dedicated assistant camera operators.
I've never had to concentrate harder, or keep straight in my head such massively complicated sequences, especially all why in constant pain. I worked the night shift three of these days and functioned on virtually no sleep through days which sometimes reached the 15 hour mark. All the while spending every dime I'd saved since "DanCoolo" wrapped two years prior.
But when I looked out onto the stage I was shamed by the pure professionalism and seemingly unending endurance of my cast and crew.
Thanks for carrying my ass guys. Next time I'll remember to say "cut" I swear.
And you, gentle viewer, we're going to blow your freaking mind.

AWESOME! Congratulations. I've been checking the blog every few days to see if there was any word on how the shoot was going. I can't wait to see the finished film. I hope everything works out well. I'm glad to have been able to play some small part in your project.

Small part? Props crucial to the story are no small part! Thanks to both of you we've got practical stuff to meet the level of the effects this time out!
