Resurrection Of Serious Rogers – Day Two

January 22nd, 2010 by Angelo

We wrapped Day Two of Resurrection of Serious Rogers today. It was a short day and the rain worked to our favor. It came when we needed it to and cleared away when we no longer desired it.

At the last minute, or rather on my way to the set, I had an idea that would save time and travel to Downtown LA. Most of what we did today was totally guerrilla, so an attempt at guerrilla filmmaking downtown would inherently have more variables. Since we had a woman prancing around with Glock lookalike, it was also dangerous.

We shot three scenes, an emotional breakdown, a kill shot, and an assassination. We used the dolly, handheld shots and this cool contraption that looks like a steering wheel. The camera mounts to the center of the wheel and it’s much better than a DV steadicam unit.

Tomorrow is a bigger day. Two locations. Two kills and we get to meet the Bad Ass Girls.

Oh, and I broke my wrist.
