They do this at parties all the time...

Saturday May 3rd
Everyone say thank you to Will, who let us use his house to film the 'sick guy' scene. We rushed in there on a friday night to take a look at the place and decide what else it needed for set dressing for the next morning. The overall look actually worked well without much help, since Will is trying to move a lot of the decluttering that is often necessary was already done. By the time I arrived in the morning, the house had been surpisingly and convincingly dirtied up for our shut-in.

Rob got some really cool makeup and Patrick and Jim got to wear some of the most rocking and miserable costumes of the shoot. They really hung in there, particularly Jim who had to spend most of the day fighting in his gear. The morning was kind of a mad rush as we had to make sure Patrick made his beerfest. (Dear Broken Lizard, Group B Films solemnly promises not to stand in the way of dudes trying to get to beerfests) Thankfully we had a great post-stunt body double who could stand in for him in some of the later sequences.

Some awesome things about Saturday...
1. Piers came up to help out. He's a moviemaker from Africa and Portland who was brutally murdered in one of our earlier productions, so it's kind of trippy to see him on the set. He really was a big help though.

2. Mike and I invented a new form of improv. The goal is to put people watching to sleep. We are very successful at it.
