Foot Soldier, a recap

| 1,062 Comments

The movie is filmed. I’ve done all that I can do. It is now off to be edited and completed.

The last week has been one of the most exhausting that I can remember. I moved at the start of the month and then hopped a plane to AR with my man to work on “Foot Soldier”. He was in charge of audio for the production.  There was a ton of work to do and little time to do it.

When Jon told me that we would be working 12 hour days, I think that I must have thought he was kidding, or at least exaggerating. I was very wrong. We had a 6 AM call time most every day. We worked until about 7 every night. Our evenings were packed with spending time and meals with our family. Little sleep was had and then the day would start over again.

But, it was all worth it. There was an amazing group of people working together on this film. A number of the crew members came out from LA and there were a lot of local students working as support. Everyone was really professional and considerate of each other. It was a pleasure to work with this great group.

I spent a lot of my time running around town searching for the perfect objects. Antique malls and flea markets to Hobby Lobby and Walmart. I shopped, set up sets, cleaned up sets, was an unofficial child-wrangler, and kept track of the costumes. I certainly had plenty to do each day. I just wish I had taken more photographs! I didn’t even think about it until the last day of filming that I should be shooting everything for my portfolio. But, I figure that I will be able to take still shots from the movie to use. Silly me.

Oh yeah, and I put out a fire. Literally. The crew was filming a scene and I went back to the RV where we were staging makeup and costumes and noticed one of the large trash cans was on fire. I couldn’t find the extinguisher, so I called for help and people came running. But, when the first crewmember showed up and tossed all the coffee on it, I found the extinguisher and put it the rest of the way out. It was exciting. I had never used a fire extinguisher before. 🙂 First time for everything.

I think the movie is going to be wonderful. The actors were great, I think my design work looked good, the film shots I saw were beautiful, and the script was solid. I can’t wait to see what all of our hard work creates. Everything should be edited and complete in a few weeks.
