Santa Zombie

9:36am JST Monday 16 May 2011 (day 15027)

Yesterday I joined several people meeting Chris for two movie shoots, shooting two scenes (people chasing santa, and zombies chasing the hero). The santa scenes were a bit delayed due to concerns that the Shibuya cops would kick us out of Hachiko Plaza. *I* wasn't concerned, buy Roy was, and told Chris and we shot that scene near the end instead of near the beginning, which I hope won't be noticeable due to the darker lighting in the earlier part of the movie.

But anyway, we had fun and I was glad when Arwen + Shizuka joined during lunch time. They wanted to be in the zombie part, which they did, successfully. We got kicked off the private property ("on this side of the line in the middle of the sidewalk is our private property, and you can't film here for privacy issues. On that side of the line is Shibuya city, so you probably need permission from the city of Shibuya to film there." ahem) so had a delay in filming to the point that I didn't get to be in the movie (yet). But Wade, Nathan, Arwen and Shizuka were featured in that scene, as green-slime vomiting zombies, certainly a life achievement!

Mark from ELF was there; he's my initial connection to the whole thing. His daughter Kristi was able to come as well, so she got a start on *her* dream to be an actress.

I recorded some footage on my little underwater camera that will hopefully be featured in the film. Yay for getting my name in the credits!
