IceBreaker Production…Day 6
Day 6 is at Whiskey Junction in Minneapolis. Call time is 0100. Chad and I start the day by stopping by Whiskey Junction to do some last minute blocking. Once we figure out what we are doing we head over to Minnihaha Park to check it out (day 7 & 8 is set there). We figure some stuff out and head down to Old Chicago for a bite to eat. Our next destination is Cub Foods in Bloomington where we pick up two jugs of white grape juice, a two jugs of cranberry juice, some V8 and 6 six packs of non-alcoholic beer for the shoot. We must have looked like some real party animals with that cart full of stuff.
We went back to Chad’s to chill for a few hours and Eric Lee showed up. We watched the Clerks II trailer and Eric ran some lines for the nights scene. I tried to sleep a little but couldn’t. At about 11:30 my brother Joe showed up and we loaded up the rest of the gear. We had one more stop, the SA, to pick up pop, ice and sugar-free Red Bull. J
We arrived at Whiskey Junction a little after 12:00am. Shortly thereafter the "Trolls" showed up (Jack, Jim & Tommy) and Jim Westcott (our extras wrangler). We backed the Aztec right up to the bar and everyone unloaded the gear.
We wanted to get a lot of stuff with the extras right away, so we began with a dolly shot of the Jack, Jim, Tommy and the bartender gal looking at Gary walk up to Major League Babe (MLB). Funny, funny shit.
I don’t want to give away too much regarding what we had the extras doing, but trust me- this is some real funny ass shit. Look for a cameo by Jay, our beloved PA in the opening scene.
Thanks to all the extras, they did a bang up job. And I can’t complain that we didn’t have enough hot chicks on set. Man O Man.
Tiffany Ogle (MLB in IceBreaker and in real life) did an awesome job. Her and her friends hung in there for nearly the entire shoot and didn’t bitch once. Tiffany even operated the camera for one shot, she nearly showed me up!
The crew did a great job considering the late hours. I didn’t see Chad slow down for even a second. We over booked ourselves going into it (we knew there was a good chance we wouldn’t make our day). We got about half of the shots done that we needed to…but they are great shots. We didn’t really linger on any one scene, things just took time.
Thanks to the whole cast and crew for putting up with the hours and schedule overrun. Some actors didn’t get utilized and I apologize. We are however starting to work more smoothly with each other which can only make things better.
We have scheduled another date for the location, and I think the film will be better because of it. Stay tuned for day 7…
