Studio 1884

For about 2 hours this morning, my humble home was transformed into a high-tech (or maybe medium-tech) movie studio. You can check out the "behind the scenes" photos here:

The making of another KBBC Movie Short

There was a bit of an 'edge of your seat' adventure scene as well. Unfortunately, will forever be in the lost footage. But picture this:


...Actor opens sliding screen door, while unbeknownst to him, he crushes the home of about 20 gargantuan wasps. Wasps are flying everywhere while actors, cameramen, grips, directors and photographers are bravely facing the large, life-threatening stingers (okay, well maybe not life-threatening, but if they got under the skin it could hurt really bad and possibly cause an infection). Meanwhile, the lowly studio-owner/photographer rescues the cast and crew, armed with a large can of Spectracide Wasp and Hornet killer. Well, some of it did get on the leading man, but he survived, and it kept the other wasps away.

I did get a photo of the end result.




Poor, poor dead, homeless wasp carcases.

Disclaimer: Many wasps were killed or injured in the making of this film.

I'm never coming to your house again. I hate anything that has the ability to fly and sting me. There. :)

You obviously did not read the part where I saved the day...All are safe, except the insects.

Yuck!! Glad everyone survived. Too bad cameras weren't rolling, you could've made a short for before the main feature. :)
