Brown Recluse

So our director has been bitten by a brown recluse spider!  Fortunately, it is on his shin, so he is already on medicine and he has managed not to get sick.  Today is our day off so we are hoping he is able to get some rest and heal.

Yesterday was a busy day filled with wardrobe changes because to get our background actors in and out as quickly as possible, we had to shoot all out of order.  We did the background shots of several scenes all in a row and then had to go back and shoot the main action and dialogue later in the day.  

I'm really excited about the movie because the footage that I've seen so far looks AMAZING!  I can not wait until it is all edited and put together.  Today we have the day off so I am going to try to make it to Walmart and get some of the pictures I've taken onto a disk so that I can start posting them.  I may have to just wait until I get back to LA in two weeks, but either way I have TONS of pictures.

Last night we were all pretty exhausted from the day but nobody was really tired.  My costar took some of us for rides around town on his motorcycle, so that was fun and exciting.  I have never really ridden on a motorcycle and it is pretty thrilling, even when you aren't going fast.  

Today we have off so I'm planning to help the assistant director get some work done on callsheets and set things up for next week and this evening the cast and crew talked about going to dinner or having a game night or hanging out by the pool or something.  This has been such an amazing experience so far!
