Project Greenlight: Let's Get Technical, Technical
Sunday, July 31, 2005

The day wraps, and they make it through their schedule for the day. "We inked Eric Dane to be hero," Mike says. "We're all just a little bit nervous," Joel notes. "We made our day, where we lost time was getting all the way out to the camera set," Ben explains. He also explains how to speak up better in order to fix camera shots after the fact. "I think it's good, and I'm glad we made the day," John notes. "I don't know what everybody's problem is," he continues, not quite sure why everyone is so concerned, but he just doesn't know better.

"John made it through his first day," Joel says, "But today will be his hardest task." Today is a technical day, dealing with blood and other special effects, as well as dealing with Eric Dane as hero. "After all the back and forth that went on yesterday, we are very lucky to have Eric Dane as hero," Mike relates. Dane was previously on Gideon's Crossing, and this is the real first feature film he's starred in during his career. "We're making a monster movie here," Eric says.

They shoot a scene where hero inspires confidence in the rest of the characters, and he talks directly to the cast. Meanwhile, Chris comes to visit the set of Feast. "He can really direct," Joel tells him. "My first vibe is that everyone is having a great time. John's really confident," Chris observes. "You had to come today, I was doing good yesterday," John jokes with Chris. "It was good that he came and that he was feeling cheery."

Next comes the first technical shot, it has to work on its first try, in order to get Honey Pie cleaned up for another shot. She will have blood poured all over her during the shot. Gary is very important for the process Joel explains and then they begin the shot. Honey Pie gets blood sprayed all over her while trying to deflect it, and now she's covered in a whole vat of blood. However, the blood's begun to burn her eyes, and she has to have them flushed with water, but she's a trooper and heads back to wardrobe to get cleaned up. She hugs John before she leaves. "We finally got into the messy stuff," John jokes.

"I wanted to go very fun, very commercial, over the top," Chris jokes, blood on his face, too, as they pose for pictures and other promotional shots, "I think in general, John has made a good director. He's taken all the hard parts in stride." John says, "I just hope it all comes together." Chris heads off for the day, praising John's work.

Jules Sylvester brings maggots to the set for a scene. He discusses how to take care of the maggots and what it takes to deal with them. Beer Guy comes out to see them and he slowly decomposes through the whole movie, so, eventually the maggots begin to consume him. Today, they are shooting some of the decomposing scenes for throughout the movie. First and foremost, the scene today is being shot so that Beer Guy would shoot a maggot out of his nose to hit the camera lens and startle the audience. However, many are very skeptical, because John never plans these things; he just announces them and expects them to work. This shot could take away. "Anything John brings up that's new to the team, it slows down the day," Mike says, "Whatever he announces, it slows down Tom, the D.P." Joel notes they don't connect at all and it's going to cause tension on the set, because they don't work well together, and neither trusts the other to do a great job. "The maggot scene really screws up today," Mike says as they call for lunch. Mike discusses Tom to John and the relationship between the two. "It's just not [working]," he says.
