2 Days...
I missed a couple of days because I am buried under a mound of paper. I think we all feel a little buried right now, but everyone is pulling together and making it happen. Our production meeting went well, with lots of laughter. I hope to hear more over the next month.
PRE-PRO
So I (Brian, DP) was able to start pre-lighting the basement tonight. Toby (Production Designer) and his team have done a great job constructing in such a short time. I wanna give a special shout out to my gaffer Mike Booth for stepping in and my mentor and an amazing gaffer Dave Bunge from "GRIP SERVICES" for all the creative input and consulting on lighting plans for for these sets.
We are so close to the first shot. SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
Pray for no rain and wind.

6 Days...
Checked out Funderland today which will be the opening and closing scenes of the movie. We will need extras for that day, so if anyone out there is interested, contact us through info@kejopro.com and we'll get back to you. You will need wardrobe that is late 60's - early 70's. Think Brady Bunch but in the winter! The production office was busy with finding doubles and stand-in's thanks to Julianne our Production Coordinator. We have locked the schedule for the first week and Heidi is busy gathering the 165 props that are being used in the film.

7 Days and Counting
What to say? The 1 week count down is on. I can't believe it! There is still a lot to do, but everything is starting to fall into place. We locked another location yesterday, the 01 loft building downtown for our character Victoria's office. Thanks to Eric and Brad. Now, we just need to get our film permit from the City of Sacramento. Good thing we don't shoot those scenes for a few weeks...
We have booked the travel for our actors coming from L.A. which really solidified that our characters will be coming to life shortly. We are so thrilled with every, single actor, we could not have asked for a better cast. We'll announce them to the world shortly. All you Star Trekkies will be very excited, as we are.

Schedule Locked and Loaded
Welcome Antonio, our 1st AD! We spend the last two days going through every scene and putting each one into a schedule that makes some sense. We feel really good that we can accomplish what we need to in the 21 days scheduled. We are even able to have a pick-up day. We start in 11 days. I wish there was more time in the day, as I'm sure everyone in each department feels the same.

Make-Up and Guns
We just had two more talented people join our crew. Margaret will be doing make-up and FX and Scott is our gun wrangler. We had a bit of a show and tell with guns and knives yesterday which was really cool. We picked out guns for our two police officers, our lead Wade and Jefferies. We get to go bang!

Art Department
Pre-building of our sets has begun! Our Production Designer and Set Dresser visited our main location (Wade's house) to measure, discuss the color palette, and designated staging areas. Next stop Home Depot and Kelly Moore Paint to begin creating the basement scene. They also will be changing the color on the walls in "Wade's kitchen" and "Wade's bedroom", and taking down 80's wallpaper to give it a fresher look. We are looking forward to seeing the transformation.

Rigging Test
We met with our experienced stunt guys, Gary Davis, Rick Edwards and Craig Mason to create the Marcus hanging stunt with our actor Matt Thompson. Matt was a trouper as he tried on multiple harnesses that are extremely tight on certain body parts, but we were able to achieve the look we were going for.
