No Rain Today!

It's Wednesday already! And... to our shock and amazement, it's NOT raining!!! However, we are still unable to shoot our exterior scenes in the farmyard. The whole yard is a lake of mud! The campers (cast and crew) are enjoying the change of weather this morning, but the majority of tents are still soaking wet. Pulling sleeping bags into a dry garage last night seemed to be a good idea for many.

Principle photography will finish tomorrow evening, but, at this point it looks like we will be returning to Hays at some point to finish up scenes that the rain prevented us from getting this week. Now, this may sound like nothing more than extra work for us all, but everybody is looking forward to coming back later to wrap things up.

It's so exciting to see just how much fun everyone is having here. Not only are we all having an extremely good time, but we are all gaining valuable experience... both of the film variety and of the life variety. Cast and crew are quickly bonding, great friendships are forming, and laughs are being had all around.

We are also finding that everyone's sense of humor is most definitely "out there". "Raunchy" doesn't even begin to describe it. Trust me... none of the jokes are suitable for blog publication.

So, we are left with two full days of filming here, follow by one full day of cleaning. I expect the cleaning day to be just as busy, if not busier, than the filming days. It should be quite the challenge cleaning fake blood off the ceiling of one of our sets. Yes, the blood and gore has truly been flying! Filmmaking just doesn't get any better than this!!!
