Photos From Our First Video Shoot

Ryan planned his first video shoot for today, which meant that Ken and Nyssa arrived at our place at 8am to prepare and go over a few things before we headed out to Mt. Spokane. Nyssa plays The Girl, and Ken plays The Hunter in the very first scene that also sets up the title of the movie.

There was only one minor setback to our plans, which was that the area where Ryan wanted to do the shoot, the road was closed for the winter. So we had to figure out something else on the fly, and we ended up finding a decent substitute area. Of course, since we were filming with Ryan's unloaded shotgun and we were near the road, Ken and I had to play lookout to make sure no passing cars saw Nyssa with the gun and got the wrong idea.

Here Nyssa pretends to set up her tent while Ryan aka "Mr. Spielberg" films and instructs her on what to do. The first time Nyssa called Ryan "Mr. Spielberg" we all laughed so hard because it was totally fitting to how he was directing everyone.

Ryan felt this log would be perfect sitting next to the firepit, but it was stuck under a small fallen tree whose roots were still attached to the soil. Nyssa and I stood around and laughed as Ken and Ryan wrestled with the log. I'm proud to report that eventually Ryan and Ken won and we were able to continue filming.

A nice shot of The Hunter sneaking up on The Girl.

My favorite picture of The Hunter sneaking up on The Girl.

Nice shot of The Hunter choking The Girl.

The Hunter getting ready to put his dick in the dirt while Ryan films it.

The Hunter playing dead.

A closer look at The Hunter's wound from The Girl's shotgun blast to the back.

Once Ryan edits and puts the video through his video editing software program and makes it look like it was shot in the 70s, it should look pretty awesome! Nyssa had a great idea, which was for one of the extras that will be on the DVD, we should get video of all the actors saying the line "Sheeeeeit!" and put it all together. I think it should be called something like the "Sheeeeit Montage".
