Shooting Wrapped! A Big Thank You to Everyone!

Second Day of Shooting!

Today we shot all day at Reliant Rehabilitation Hospital up in Round Rock. A big thank you to Bill Grey and Ana Marie of Reliant for allowing us to shoot. It was a long, but smooth day of shooting the operation scenes of X. We got to play with the ever so cool jib I rented from Mopac Media. And I finally got to see images that have been in my head so long: Doctors in white lab coats, wearing huge safety goggles and cartoonish gloves, operating on a robot--seriously, what can get any better?

First Day of Shooting!

First day of shooting went extremely well! We ran into a little "authority" trouble in front of the Austin Convention Center, but Drew and his smooth talkin' enabled us to shoot without any further hassles. We had a full morning with Mr. Roberts and X, and Team Beaker got their first real taste of puppeteering the robot.


In the afternoon, we then moved to Painter Hall at UT Campus, and had to work our way around crazy game day traffic. The 1st floor hallway in Painter gave us the perfect setting of Dr. Clark and her assistants rushing X down the hallway. This was the first time that all the doctors got to meet eachother, including Jane, who was cast just last night via craigslist! She was great and so willing on such a short notice. Sophie had a "bumpy" ride as the dolly grips ran her down the hallway. We have proof that our great DP would rather see herself hurt than our beloved EX-1. The cast: Elizabeth, Mike, Jane, and Geoffrey were amazing as they adapted very quickly to adlibs and impromptu lines. We all got in the "ER" zone as we thought up different medical terms to spout out during the scene. I've got one word to the cast . . . . "Contusion!"
