ICEBREAKER DAY 21

Today we are shooting at Luci Ancora in St Paul...the same place and scene we shot on Day 1. We had some audio crackling and we wanted to try something else with the framing, so we decided to give it another shot.

Again, Maria at Luci was very accomodating and the shoot went flawlessly. We had two cameras and Jane and Emily were spot on. we nailed the entire scene in about 90 minutes. Great stuff.

After the Luci shoot, Chad, Emily and myself scooted over to the Uptown Theatre (thanks for the last minute accomodation!) to shoot the last bit of Sam's monologue. It will be really funny- Emily all by herself in an empty theatre shouting out lines.

After that we moved on to............................

Wait....

That's it.....

IT'S A WRAP!

Principle photography on IceBreaker is done!

ICEBREAKER TRAILER

We now have an IceBreaker trailer. It screened this past Friday night at the Uptown Theatre in Minneapolis before the world premeire of Tazer Gun. It looked fantastic.

We should have it streaming up on icebreakermovie.com soon.

ICEBREAKER DAY 20

Day twenty is shooting at Keri Bunker's (Lindsey) home. The scene is the other half of a short phone conversation between her and Gary. Here is how it went down:

We arrived at Keri's house.

We set up the camera, the lights, the computer and the mic.

We filmed the scene.

We took down the camera, the lights, the computer and the mic.

We left.

In and out.

ICEBREAKER DAY 19

Day 19 is another all nighter at Brother's. We are starting around 10:00p, with a complicated jib arm shot inside of Brother's (please note: they are open for business and this is a Saturday night).

It is hellish getting the jib and computer setup- people are evrywhere, which is waht we wanted, so we have to suck it up and overcome. Jim was able to wrangle some folks to mingle on the staircase (we are shooting Emily and Sasha storming out of the bar) and they did a mighty fine job. We also have 2 cameras for this shoot, so we were able to get double the footage. Once we got everything setup, it took us about 10 minutes to get the shots we needed with the jib arm.

After that, we went outside of Brother's and filmed Sasha and Emily walking out of the bar and bumping into each other on the street. Chad and I had to walk backwards on the busy sidewalk and film, so I want to thank Randy and Eric for helping to guide us safely through the drunken mass.

Here are some quotes from people on the street that night:

"Oh my God! Please tell me you're shooting a fucking porno!"

Drunk guy: "What movie are you guys filming?"

Andy Kraft: "X-men 4."

Drunk guy: "Really!?"

MPD Officer: "What are you doing?"

Nick: "Nothing."

MPD Officer: "Well knock it off."

Drunk girl: "Hey! This is Project Greenlight!"

Jim: "You need to sign this release form if you want to be in the movie."

Transient: "I gots to read this first...I been in jail and one thing I learned from that is that you gots to read stuff before you sign it."

It was an interesting shoot.

After all that, we set up a light on the dance floor and had Randy in pimp mode dancing to a Johnny Clueless track that people were really getting into.

Then we went venturing into downtown Minneapolis with the boys- Eric, Andy and Sasha- for some cutaways. We did a pretty good job of not getting a) busted by the police for not having a permit, b) not getting mugged, c) not getting killed, d) not getting an STD.

Then Chad and I let the boys run lines while we went out on our own, getting all kinds of misc cutaway shit. It was a good time :)

After we got back to Brothers, we just had to wait for the bar to close down so we could film some dialogue stuff. It's all a blur now, but I think we wrapped around 5am, thus wrapping Brothers as an IceBreaker location. If you haven't picked up on this, Brothers was VERY good to us. This movie would have suffered without there help. Thanks Greg, and to all you staff for helping us out. See you on the 28th of Oct.

PS thanks for the early morning pizza!
