SORRY THIS IS SO LATE:

IceBreaker Production-Day 9, Part 2
The second half of day 9 didn't start until 11:30 pm, at Whiskey Junction in Minneapolis. This made for a 24 hour plus day for some of us.
The scene tonight is the remaining portion (the beginning) of the opening scene with Gary (Sasha) and Eric (um...Eric) having some beers at the bar and talking about Major League Babe (Tiffany Ogle).
We started off with some reaction shots of Tiffany and her friends, then moved on to some approach shots of Gary coming up to the table, and then the final "breaking the ice" bit.
After a short break (people were starting to drag at this point), we started with Gary and Eric's dialogue. We did a fair amount of coverage on the scene, so it took some time- but everyone did a great job and we got some great stuff.
This coming weekend is the beginning of the big stuff at Brothers Bar & Grill in Minneapolis. These next two weekends are basically everything we have prepared for, so pray for us that everything will go well!!!

IceBreaker Production-Day 9, Part 1
Well, it's been two weeks since our last shoot. Day 9 started at 6am in Burnsville, at the Raven Hills Apartments. We are using the exterior as Sam's apartment building and one of the demo units (fully furnished) as Sam's apartment.
The plan is to shoot the exterior stuff in the am (to avoid the forecasted 105 degree temps in the pm) but we are hit with on and off thunder showers. We decide to start indoors, with the bedroom scene. The scene went great. Emily and Justen are great performers who do a great job. We then moved on to Keith's grand entrance, which was very funny.
We then moved outdoors for our dolly shot and Keith running up the exterior stairs. The dolly shot was great, with some really good improvising.
For lunch, we were invited to the Wazoo Show picnic. The Wazoo Show is a local public access show much like Monty Python's Flying Circus. It worked out great, the picnic was in Minnehaha Park and we could "steal" the scene with Keith pushing his stalled car off the road, right in front of a no parking sign. We cut the cast/crew loose for lunch and Chad and I headed over to Bloomington to pick up the car we are using for Keith's car. A 1992 White Chevy Blazer with a ton of rust on it. Thank you Heidi Delo :) We make it back to the picnic and eat, mingle, etc. We shoot the scene (giving the masterful Randy Barancyk a cameo...) and head back to Bloomington for the 'dropping Keith off at work' scene. This was an amazing scene. Emily and Justen are awesome. You'll just have to wait and see it. That was the end of the day portion.
Shooting will resume later in the night for the remaining opening scene bit.
