Director Jonathan Hal Reynolds was kind enough to let me run around & take pics during last weekend's filming, and I got to see Ms. Roberts perform her big death scene! How much fun was that?!
Jonathan did some creative directing that I thought was brilliant, and had some of us in the crew SCREAM to add an extra element of surprise to Taylor's shocked realization of being hit by a mean, ugly, pick-up truck which was PERFECT-for-the-part!
I had a blast, and made lots of new friends--Dominic Stangl costarred with Taylor, and off camera the 3 of us choreographed some killer battle scenes (that had nothing to do with the movie, but were none-the-less-AWESOME)...
Also, I must mention that I can't wait to work with costume designer Andie Day this Fall for the Beatles musical that Theatrikids has in the works... Little Sgt. Peppers Outfits?! BIG YES!
Anyway, I wanted to say special thanks to everyone on production staff that made me feel right at home: Jamie, Jonathan, Rebecca, Jodie, Andie, Taylor, Nathan, Mitch, Jill, Dominic, Cyndi, Tyler, Taylor (the Camera operator), AND OF COURSE...Taylor Roberts, my beloved student, who has officially embarked on her destiny to be a movie star AND a rock star (looks like movies 1st! :)
Being on the movie set was a wonderful experience for me--everyone on the wonderful cast and crew that put their hearts into that project! Here are some pics to prove that we all had a BLAST!!
Erin-you're awesome. Thanks for posting. Word of advice...everyone better get autographs while they can.
