The Senior Prank - Week 3

Sunday morning at 4:30 am, we finished filming "The Senior Prank"!  We were filming outside all night night and it was pretty crazy, but God held off the rain and the storm long enough to get all of our shots.  It's hard to believe it's all over.  I'm going to be in denial for a while.  

Here are some pictures from the last week of filming:

With my "mom" at the Great Harvest Bread Factory where we filmed on Monday.  Definitely our best-smelling location!  :-)

Our awesome 1st AD (assistant director), Rick Garside:

 The gang!

Shaina and her brothers Blake and Mackenzie (friends of mine from back home) got to come up and be extras for three days!  It was great having them on set.  

This was a crazy scene!  We had to pop all these balloons (and I hate popping balloons!).  I think we popped a total of around 400.  It was quite a mess, especially since a bunch of them had confetti inside. This was a huge day for the art department, and clean-up took hours!

Doing my behind-the-scenes interview.

 Alex, our fantastic wardrobe assistant, fixing my necklace:

My mom and brother came to visit me for a few hours on set!  I was so sad that Dad had to work and Stephen's braces were hurting him, so they couldn't come.

 Standing in our places while the lighting and camera crews got set up.

It was fun working with Ben Davies!  I'm looking forward to watching "Courageous" again now that I know Ben and have worked with him.  :-)

Time to be a hooligan!  :-)  I think this might have been my favorite "look" of the whole film.  Haha!  I had so much fun!

My good friends Andrew and Philip Bolzman (who were working as crew) got pulled in to play my fellow pranksters at the last minute when the other two actors didn't show up.  That made the scene even more fun.  :-)

   
Ironically, the last scenes that we filmed were the very first scenes of the movie.  I found it highly appropriate that this was the last line of dialogue I said during the filming: "I can't believe this is our last night together.  I'm going to miss you guys so much."  It was so true.  This has been a crazy and wonderful adventure, and I'm going to miss the cast and crew so very much!  I hope we all get to work together again some day on another project.
