gabe 2nd week
I started the week with a 7am start, painful in my books especially since im a night person. Once again we were filming in alexandria on bourke rd. I got asked if i wanted to be an extra in the film which i didnt so i
hinted towards victor the production designer and my boss that he might need me in order to get out of the role. He didnt pick up on the hint and i ended up being a homeless bum eating soup which was really a chinese dish made from sesame seeds. The texture of the soup was a mid greg colour and looked terrible but wasnt really that bad.
so all monday i ate soup or at least pretended to.
Tusday i spent most of my time preparing the set of the exterior of the soup kitchen which is post bomb explosion. This involved me creating alot of ash for the scene and burnt wood. i didn't mind because i like playing with fire. i did get called into set to oversee the shootingof a few overlay matte shots for the explosion. I was given around 10 minutes to prepare eveything i needed to make the shot work. Im not sure if i will work but im confident well have something out of it. A little more time ould have been good but thats the way things go it seems.
wednesday i was dragged into being an extra again but it was ok this time because i managed to drag a copy of the bible over to me and i just read revelations the whole time. ahh end of the world shit so interesting.
thursday i spent most of the day running around with vic ageing walls and other little handy helper things.
Friday me and vic went to maitland in the hunter valley and prepared and aged a bus for a few scenes. Was a good road trip and had fun painting the inside of a bus with yogurt and ripping labels off botttles for 2 hours. On the way up i also sat there with a roll-a-matic and rolled over 60 cigarettes for props. Im pretty good at rolling them now. well at least with a machine.
yay fun
after the road trip i went over to adams new house and had a few beers with adam, kiwi, mog, megan, trent and cass and watch 'the great escape' and 'ong bak'. Those stunts in ong bak are amazing.
sat me grag and rochelle all went to newtown for some burgers and a movie. saw little fish, was pretty cool but it didnt end. hate it when they dont end.
