We had David Scott and Scotty Schultz, as well as Trent Stover and Derek DuQuesne out for filming today. It was raining this morning and David drove his bike, so he got a little soaked on his way over.
We started out with David, Derek and Scotty. Since we planned on shooting the sheriff station scenes in sequence, we didn't have Trent come in until later.
We began with Scene 42:INT. SHERIFF'S STATION - DAY
From a PHANTOM POV we enter the Sheriff's Station and slowly approach the desk where DEPUTY CORMAN sits, his face buried in a newspaper. He takes a sip from his coffee cup. As he sets the cup back on the desk, the paper lowers and he sees.. To find out how the scene ends, you'll just have to wait to see the movie.
When Trent arrived we paused to shoot all of the Sheriff Stephens bits and let David have a break, sending him to the communal "trailer" while we worked with Trent. Once we got that stuff done, we called David back over so we could do the fight scene between Hooper and Stephens. It didn't work out quite the way I wanted, but we got some really cool angles.
When we finished with Stephens' scenes, we let Trent go and finished Hooper's scenes and sent David Scott home. Then we worked on some scenes with Corman and Loomis that the other actors aren't in and worked on some recently added some mostly improvised scenes between Loomis and Corman so that we can have something to fill in any gaps that may arise in editing.
It was a seven hour day, but we completed every one of the sheriff's station sequences. Which isn't bad considering it would have taken a studio weeks to do what we did in only seven hours. Bully for us!
