Keeping the film rolling...

May 9
Crimson Kyroz Night Swimming Party
Well, I already told y'all about this one. Now here's some pics to complement my previous entry. A lot of them were scandalous especially for us guys, so I won't be posting most of them. Especially not here. If you wanna see the other pics try checking out the friendster pages of Ed or the other members. Anyway, here's a handful of snaps for you guys.




May 13
The Taxi, Bridge and Baywalk shoot day
Yeah. I didn't know what to call it but it was one hell of a productive day. Not that we finished everything we planned to do but we did do alot. There were quite alot of us, which is nice and pleasing knowing that a lot of us are very active. Angelo, Sam, JE and his girlfriend all came to help. Ed and Kat of course, were the stars of the day for almost all scenes. First we went to Fairview and asked a manong driver to help us out with the taxi scene in exchange for a few bucks.

Next stop. Ayala Bridge, which happens to be in Manila, not Ayala. We started reshooting the entire Bridge scene for the 2nd life, which was first filmed just about a year ago. A lot has changed though, and I mean alot, including the actors and the place. But it'll work out fine. Trust me.




When the clock struck 3 we decided to skip the Bridge scene and catchup to the sunset at Baywalk, Roxas Boulevard. Arrived just in time to finish all shots for the Ending scene. Yep, we did it. Opening and ending scenes are now complete. Now all we have to worry about is everything in between.





May 14-16 Alley scene
First day, went to Eduardo's house and started choreographing the moves for the fightscene in Scene 12 when Leo encounters a gang of... ah, just read the script. Wouldn't wanna spoil stuff for others out there. Me, Ed and Angelo spent an all-nighter working on the fight choreography. On the same night we had to find 5 new guys to play the roles needed in the scene. With a little help from Joel, recruitment was a breeze.

Second day we started filming the first parts of the scene but the sun went down before we were satisfied with our shots so had to reschedule it another day.

Third day was pure rehearsals of the fight choreography. Practiced every move so we wouldn't cause much of a commotion at the alley during the actual shoot. Two cops approached us that other day saying there were reports that we were having a gangfight or something. Next time make sure they see the camera.


May 18
Bridge scene continued
Not as exciting as the May 13 shoot. Today there were only three of us. Me, Ed and Kat. The Tenacious Trio, or whatever. We were still able to shoot with just us three, plus my car was on coding so we had to commute too. Since we started very late (3:30) We weren't able to finish the shoot. But not bad. Not bad at all. Just one last trip to the bridge and we'll surely be done with that scene.


May 20-21
Jenny's room
On these days we're going to have the Jenny's room scene scheduled (Scene 13-14). Revision of the script is ongoing. Me and Angelo put a lot of effort on improving that scene's script that by now it's already at its fourth revision. Still more work to do with the script, storyboard and set design, and only two days to prepare for everything. Guess I better start now. Alright got a lot of work to do, sched's been hectic this whole month, but that's a good thing. Ain't nothing like the feeling of fulfilment knowing that the movie's gaining progress each and every day.
