The KICK ME Saga - Part Six

 Days 8 & 9

The dojo sequence - the turning point for me.

This was frustrating because the way it was shot, there had to be constant resetting the background, moving things not intended to be seen out of the way, instead of shooting out the angles, then moving things. It was raining outside, so that limited putting things outside, and it ate up a lot of time that we didn't have. We still were not making our days, and at this point, it was a certainty that it wouldn't be finished on schedule. I told the producer that they should probably look for someone else, if this was going to be how things were going.
 
Had no idea who Josh Fadem was - didn't watch 30 ROCK and didn't care for ERIC ANDRE SHOW; it wasn't until he showed up on TWIN PEAKS years later that I realized he was a legitimate actor. (As with Eric Andre - wasn't until his recent bit on CABINET OF CURIOSITIES that I took him seriously.)
 



Paul Burns (Victim)



Jim Schweers - Jim Schweers



Alberto Mercado Ortiz - Mr. Choki






Josh Fadem - Soldier 1 (Doug)


Stuart Scott Smith - Soldier 2 (Randy)/2nd set PA











For me, Jim Schweers was the funniest part in the film so far, on the page and the shoot up to this point.

Not a happy man...
