So it's the end of a long day of filming for "This Side of the Truth " . I started at 9:30 AM and it ended at 10:30 PM. There were so many scenes I lost track. Mob scenes where Ricky Gervais was pushing through people that saw him as the new messiah. Then Jennifer Garner pushing through. Then they filmed a scene where a car was being pulled by a truck that had cameras mounted to the back pointed to it. Then it started raining. Fortunately everyone was allowed to use an umbrella until they started shooting. So they would yell "Rolling, Umbrellas down! ...now cut! umbrellas up!" which instantly caused this massive amount of water to fly everywhere. Then when evening hit there was a candlelight vigil which I am sure looked good on film. The film crew were perhaps the nicest I dealt with. Matthew Baker the second assistant director and Max Keene first assistant director had a very nice style in the way they directed. Instead of telling actors "don't do this ! " or "you are doing that wrong!" they always said "that was good but could you please try this instead" . They were so.....British... it made me want to do more British films.
The highlight of the day was when the co-director Matthew Robinson was doing a cameo he was pelted by a brash of NERF bullets during a filming.
Ok off to sleep I am bloody tired.
