...so I've been a little busy lately.

We shot last night until like 5:30 in the morning. I didn't get to bed until about 7:30 am.

I was really amazed at the production level! Mace and Hoof, both Greenlight guys, really got it together. There must have been about 15-20 crew people, 25 extras, 5 principals. About 20 of the extras had special make up considerations.

I saw some of the footage on the monitor. That Canon XL1 has a beautiful picture quality.

Hey Steve, CJ and I are going to be sharing some screen credit with ya.

Yesterday went as well as could be expected after the rainout of the morning shoot... They did manage to get all of the establishing shots for the three thugs seen and some of the rooftop stuff done too. And CJ ended up being one of the thugs and I ended up being a Happy Dick for the changing of the guards... It was fun. And crazy - most of us had been up since 5am on sunday morning - shoot ended around 6pm-ish.

Sorry you had to wait around so long, but I think your scene looks the best so best. Very poignant and somewhat eerie at the same time. Very cool and I know Mace was happy with it.

Now, where did I put that gun?...

Yes, that's very true. It's practically a guarantee.

Speaking of which, I have some swamp land in Florida up for sale...

I only want the swamp land if it comes with a free camel, two humps at the least...

Actually DFogg, I really do like your short and if you don't find a more suitable crack whore, I'll give it a hurl.
