The Dark Side of the Earth: March 3rd, 2008

I finished shooting the Snow Harvest videomatic, twice. Twice? Yes, I had to do pick-ups just like on a real movie. The reason was that I had used the wrong actor. Somehow I put the scowling blue-suited “Julius Gale” figure into certain shots instead of the scowling grey-black-and-white-suited “Red Darwing” figure. Even though they have stickers saying “JULIUS” and “RED” on their foreheads.
Last week I met up with a number of puppeteers interested in helping to bring the Wooden Swordsman to life. A filmmaker called Gerard Giorgi-Coll also got in touch and very kindly offered to shoot behind-the-scenes material for the pilot, not to mention putting me onto a friend of his who might be able to make a certain special costume for us.
