Party by the Pool, Part Deux

Monday, February 9th, 2009
Prest hits the pool

Prest hits the pool

From Director Marty Wisher: What a blast this weekend has been. We spent two full days filming the teen pool party scene.  The kids were awesome.  The weather was a tad cooler than we’re used to.  But they were troopers about removing their jackets before the cameras started rolling.

Big kudos to Seth Billig (who plays Prest) for his willingness to be “knocked” into the pool (An icy 50-55 degrees).  Of course, we had several takes.  And I think the kids got a kick out of just hanging out after the filming.  Munching, video games, and shooting archery with Ray.

Thanks to Sue Rawley for the majority of the photos – shot in “Sports Mode,” so we got all the action!

Well, another very productive day of shooting down.  Only a couple more scenes to go and we’ll be hitting the post-production hard.  Only minor hitches today, including a little early morning carpet cleaning we had to work around.  Excellent work from all of our teen stars, including the Wisher kids.  We’ll pick up the  rest of the scenes tomorrow.  Enjoy the photos posted below:

We finished shooting the missing pieces from scenes 14 & 21 last week, as well as getting the extra bits and pick-ups of additional footage for various other scenes in and around Jake’s Room.  We also shot the material of Josh picking the boys up and dropping them off after the pool party, utilizing the car we had with the most character, my late Aunt Dot‘s 1981 Toyota Tercel, complete with bullet holes and other indicia, courtesy of our friends at Hardley Dangerous Illusions.  Danny, Christian and Teresa were excellent as always, and Josh did a fine job in his first on-film performance.

Take a moment to check out the photos of the shoot in the gallery below.
