Day 3 moviecamp: Lots of Activity going on!

By LINDA SETO

We had our 1st FULL day and Night filming!…. It went pretty smooth, even though it did rain for about 30 minutes. (see Brad’s Blog) On Location Filming with the Cast; Danielle Sherrill, Jane Marie Jenevein, Madison Poe were “Baking” and it took 30 minutes or more just to “make ready” the dinner table with actual food ( thanks Danielle’s mom Bridgett who provided several items and then Maggie’s mom, who in real life IS a gourmet cook, helped us “decorate the Chicken entree or more like a cornish hen??)
Everything looked delicious, but since it WAS props, we couldn’t eat them…

Hailey Ortiz, Alexis Sillaway & Ashton Armstrong were filming their ” Pet Sitter Business scene”. Elise Armstrong ended up provided us with her (real) dog, who’s quite energetic and we did have a real fish too. …who knew that Edna ( of ASK EDNA ) lived in the SAME neighborhood and would drop in for pet sitting services…. wow..its a small world..

MOMS BUSY in the Office…… finally the front office is being organized…ok..it’s in the PROCESS of being organized and anyone who’s worked in the office knows just how BIG a job that it!!…. Maddie’s Mom, Kim and Alexis’s mom, Jennifer plus Penny ( back in town- yeah!!) were doing a GREAT job! It’s part of our “getting ready for a REALLY AWESOME year ahead for YAS!! We are planning already for the 2008-09 year events & activities..etc.

Another BIG day of Filming tomorrow- so I hope it doesn’t rain.. and now we’ll have TWO newspapers coming out this week to interview the talent & take photos!!…coool! Everyone keep up the TERRIFIC WORK!!

we filmed outside until the rain drops came down

by: Brad

We filmed the pet sitters outside today. Even with very ominous clouds heading our way….

we managed to film almost all of the slated exterior scenes today. It was a very bad and quick storm that came through. After the storm had passed, we went outside to film the remaining 1 exterior scene. Other than that…it was a really nice filming day! We are still digitizing the footage from today and the behind the scenes as well. We **should** have a behind the scenes video up tonight…at some point. We have a big exterior filming day tomorrow…filming outside the whole day and inside a car too. Should be interesting. We will have someone holding an umbrella over the camera (for sun protection and for in the event that it starts raining). Our sound equipment is weather proof, so that’s nice…. Zane is weather proof too Geo stopped by tonight to learn editing and see the after-hours crew still working like the insanely dedicated crew members we are. See everyone tomorrow bright and early!

The half of the Cast back at YAS

By Skyler McIntosh, Reyn Taylor & Maddie Earhart

Today about half of us stayed “In studio B” while the other half filmed at Maggie’s House (on Location). There are about four sleeping bags haphazardly spread across the room and Derk is modeling his lovely Simpson PJ pants for all of us fortunate to witness?….We all have been busily rehearsing our lines w/o stumbling or hesitating, ten times each scene in preparation for our filming days.

The BOYS have spent the last HOUR and a half rehearsing the same scene..mostly due to Douglas laughing……………Reyn & I gave up somewhere along the 10th attempt on their “Drivers Ed” scene and fell asleep waiting for the boys to finish.
Maddie & Harrison have been working so diligently all day and are the most focused in the room. Luckily we all got here on time this morning ( even Reyn, who got gas last night, so as of this week, her record for running out of gas will stay only 12 times!) Although at 6:30am in the morning, motivation for rehearsing, was a long nap- the closer it gets to lunch and the promise of food soon, is effective in getting the boys to work.
Everyone got grapes for snack & Harrison is expecially amused with a tiny one in his cup. Skyler is busy “scolding Douglas for squashing a rare silk worm ” ( it’s in her script) and after lunch she decides to identify with the silk worm by getting into her sleeping bag and pulling herself around the room, using only her arms….Well, I think we officially have gone through the scenes 10 times finally. Reyn left to intern with the behind the scenes crew, and wer have begun discussing the deeper meaning of life…then it stormed. ( Is that a sign of some type?…hmmm)
