Most of today shooting scenes in parking lot snowdrift since the mountain was being a bitch...again! Like whiteout and 85mph winds bitchy!
A slug white nerd no more! After today's shoot I'm more of a crazy wind and sunburned mountain man...with a slug white frozen body.
Looking over day one dailies (the film footage) and I'd have to say they seem to well capture the white-out freezing hell we shot them in!
5am warm and cozy in bed...but knowing I'm about to head back up a freezing mountain. I'm just saying, I don't think I'd be much of a skier!
I look like some kind of long-haired electrocuted hamster. Need a shave a haircut, which I'll get on Sat when I switch to actor mode!
Lose my scribes today...I'm going to miss having my allies and evil writing monkeys to geek out with at 2500 metres! Can you spell sequel?!
The Mount Vitosha may be harsh...but not as harsh as no WiFi for a night! Back at the apartment now and feeling much better connected ;-)
Day One shooting my evil snow monkey movie...and it's an early one!
Great read through, I was feeling good...followed directly by a props meltdown! Up that mountain to start directing tomorrow! Sleepytime!
Back to my little stick drawings as I try to figure out the puzzle that is all the little shots that make up 1 whole evil snow monkey movie!
Sushi in Bulgaria. Who do I run into? Ronan the barbarian mocking me with his buffness and good looks! I got home, and did 1 whole sit-up.
Best day ever! Scheming with our scribes my first Bulgarian production meating...plates of meat everywhere... and smoke too!
Mount Vitosha you big beautiful angry hunk of rock! If the snow keeps falling we might just have an evil snow monkey movie!
The cast is cast and pre-production restarts pre-producting tomorrow...sleep, you say? Ha! I laugh in the face of sleep and say zzz...
Apparently Baz points at airplanes in the sky and says Bulgaria? I know he's just trying to psych me out, but I miss that little monkey!
Great meeting with my 1st ad, or as I call him - the Guy Ritchie of Bulgaria. Still struggling to fit this beast of a script into 18 days!
Celebrating the beginning of spring in Bulgaria and scoring lots of Martenitsas (red and white bracelets) while prepping evil snow monkeys.
I'm totally responsible for Canada's hockey victory! Well, I went online and looked up who won this morning...does that count?
Spending the day drawing little stick figures on snowmobiles for action sequences...tell me, am I the only person who calls them ski-do's?
