We spent around seven hours in the park today, which, though exhausting, accomplished quite a bit. At this point we need to take advantage of any good weather we can get.
The weather cleared up beautifully after last night’s thunderstorm, so we packed up the equipment, props, and costumes and headed to the park for the morning.
We have spent several hours in the past few weeks trying to derive a way to have our actors disappear through a trapdoor.
If you need to film a scene with ice cream, we’ve found this recipe to be very helpful. When we made it, it didn’t start to melt until about two hours into filming.
This morning we filmed a short section that takes place right before the Ice Cream Shuffle, and some more sections of the duel. Or so I’m told.
