Day 6 - Last day in the Badlands





God what a beautiful dead guy I am.  This was a little tough for me.  At times we were very close to a 100ft+ drop and it made me a little legless.  A reassuing couple of crewmwmbers kept people safe throughout.


Julia Bennet walking towards camera.  In that there was no artificial lighting, the crew followed with a silver card, re-focusing the light on her.  Again, actors, don't be distracted.  There's a whole bunch of people making the movie.  You stay focused on YOUR task.

The crew prepares the films' climax.  Lighting was spectacular


  

Last day shooting at the Badlands!  This Grand Canyon-esque scene is where Bertha brings Larry for his ritual resting place.  His/my body is to be thrown from this cliff.Tristan and Andrew search for the body after the drop.....kidding.  Tristin will use in post production, Computer Generated Imaging (CGI) to get the image of me being dropped over the edge.

 David Midthunder (Sheriff Highbear) and Julia Bennet (Bertha Constantine) look off and contemplate the accomplishment of the burial.  This was the end of a very long day for crew and Julia.  emotional and physical exhaustion can play a part in your  end result.  Make sure you pace yourself and try not to be "On" all the time. 


You can see through an attatched monitor used by the film crew their perspective of the up coming shot.  This camera is a very high quality digital camera.  It's called "RED".  It corrects some lighting issues digitally, making the work easier.
End of day.  Long precarious walk to base camp (National park rest area)
