Mr. Buttons - Final Scene with the Kids (0)

Posted on 29 October, 2006 in Mr. Buttons

We wrapped up our final scene with our child actors today. The kids have been a real pleasure to work with! We swoope dinto the cemetery where I’ve film some previous footage for Slaughter Disc and we shot our scenes.

We also have another talented actress who has joined our cast to play the role of our Witch. If everything goes according to plan from this day forward we should be looking at a January premiere for this one.

Mr. Buttons - Almost the Day from Hell! (0)

Posted on 22 October, 2006 in Mr. Buttons

One of the most stressful shooting days is over and done with - and it went much smoother than I initially dreaded. We were privileged enough to film in a closed down wing of a real hospital thanks to the hard efforts by one of our cast members. Sadly our day was marked with a flaky actress who has decided to opt out of the film. I’ll delay any comment at this time about the situation because it’s not professional - but some of you know I can also be far from professional

We had a blast filming a a few bloody murder scenes this evening. While the shoot was almost ruined because the timing belt blew out on my car’s engine, I was close enough to the filming location when it happened that a friend was able to help over to the spot just before the actors arrived. That was a close one.

Mr. Buttons - Damn The Weather (0)

We were rained out today! This is the first time I have ever had to cancel a shoot due to the weather. I thought we would still be able to film on Friday, but soon the clouds gathered and it rained all night long! I checked the location on Saturday morning and it was muddy as hell! There was no way I was going to make the actors and crew crawl around in the muck so we called it off. We’ll re-schedule for another date.

Posted on 8 October, 2006 in Mr. Buttons

Today way our first day of filming for Mr. Buttons! We endured a 6 hour shoot and tackled approximately 1/4 of the film’s subject matter. Our cast was fantastic! I am especially grateful to the parents who trusted the lives of their children to me while I acted like I really knew what I was doing We’re off to a running start and I hope to have this puppy wrapped in a few more weeks.
