So I drove up to the SF bay to do some contract work for my old school, and while I was there I helped my buddy Gabriel shoot a music video for his new solo album. I have a background in film making and thought I could assist in some meaningful way.I ended up being in charge of making mud. Having spent the better part of my childhood making cat-turd pies in a sandbox this was a specialty of mine. I lost my pair of brown euro shoes to the bay - it's a shame because they cost a grip and were some of my favorites.
In addition to making mud, I shot production stills and promotional photos for the album.
Towards the end of the shoot, I also got covered in mud from head to toe so that Gabriel could have more mud-people for the final shots. It was quite disgusting - and expensive. I had forgotten to bring a change of clothes, so my friend Emily ran to Target and bought a whole new outfit for me so that I could make it to my friend Tom Orr's "iTom Shuffle" cabaret show @ 8. But it gave me some taste of what it might be like to work on a Zombie film - maintaining continuity from the master shot would be quite difficult.
Financial Update:
+$300 Contracting Work.
-$70 Replacement outfit at Target.

I heard that Tom Orr's show is pretty dirty and bawdy. My cup of tea. Like the blog I'll make sure to e-drop by to say e-hello when I am e-here.
Again, thanks for the article.
If you're spending $70 for an outfit from Target...you don't know how to shop! Next time take an Asian with you.
