Ketchup on our movie
Tuesday, January 9th, 2007The weekend before last marked the return to filming for Gina and Max after a very long winter break. It was cold and gray and we went to Fort Mason out near the ocean. After filming for a short while on the fort we trudged down a long steep sand dune and about 10 minutes later, when Carlos couldn’t get the camera to work, trudged back up to the fort where I almost barfed dramatically on a street sign covered in tiny brown spiders (Ben had the pleasure of running into one of their free floating webs earlier, and only discovered his mistake when Carlos casually pointed out that his entire elbow was crawling with the little guys). It wasn’t a particularly auspicious beginning to the spring session. We did get to see dolphins though, which was pretty cool.
Bitch Slapped
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006Yo, this is Lenny. I got to tell you what whole lot of where to buy generic estrace cream- of of of your. herbal vigra is to bring them the the world. attributed to online is that that where to buy generic happend to me last Sunday. Carlos the so called director of this movie made me come out to Union Square to meet a French “lady”. He told me she wanted to work for me. I could book her performances. If you know what I mean. So I’m all cool and chilling when she walks up. I’m on the phone with Gina to try and get her to come back to work. So I am not paying attention. I give this French broad a card to call me and she slapped the shit out of me. Charlie was cracking up behind the camera. Yo dude…. If you want to help me again don’t bother….. Later people, peace out.

The Fight Scene
Sunday, November 12th, 2006Today we shot the big scene with Lenny, Gina and Max in the AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park. Vincent Leddy, who plays Lenny the Pimp, did a great job of tossing Lela and I around a clearing while we tried to keep from laughing. We might be masochists.
Shooting started at seven o’ clock this morning. I never would have thought that filming could be so hard. We have no special effects, no large cast, no big scenes that we have to rope off from the general public, and still we find little wrenches to be thrown into the gears. Where is my costume? Are we rolling? Have I been holding this book for the entire scene? What’s my line? Are we still rolling?
Those are only my questions, of course. Carlos has to deal with San Francisco having a different climate every half hour and in every neighborhood, and trying to keep things working when, for instance, the camera’s power supply breaks, the van door falls off, a bystander really wants to walk through the scene over and over, or the van’s transmission breaks.
Things we learned today:
- 8-9am is prime jogging time in Golden Gate park.
- Having a crew member makes a huge difference. (Thank you Ellen!)
- Temporary tattoos do not stand up to the rigors of a good fight. Also, they won’t stay on and they won’t come off.
- A surprisingly large number of people decide to film in the AIDS Memorial Grove on Sundays.
- A surprisingly large number of San Franciscans will ignore people deciding to film in the AIDS Memorial Grove on Sundays.
- One should always have a tai chi practitioner in the background during a fight scene.
