This is the "all-hell-breaks-loose" scene. "This is the big scene," John says, as everybody's worried about how it will actually work out on film. "We are in the belly of the beast with the monster attacking," Mike notes. "We need to figure out how to do 183," Ben says. "We'll know before lunch if we are in trouble." This is the first day the monster comes on stage and they get to see it up close and personal live.
They began shooting the scene around nine in the morning, and things start off pretty well. They have about five departments working together at the same time. They have 19 shots in the one day, and they have to make the day or else they will be in quite a bit of trouble schedule way. Gary is trying to push a monster through a hole, but the hole is too small, and it's more than fifty pounds. He's angry that everyone seems to be having a good time except those working the monsters, because everybody else is goofing off. Joel just thinks Gary has a problem with John. "Till John sees what he doesn't like, John doesn't know what he likes," he says, "Why don't you direct me?"
Krista gets wrapped for the day and heads off. Stephen was changing the schedule and then realized they needed Krista back. He tells Colleen that, David calls her and leaves a message, but realizes they probably won't get a hold of her. "Krista was wrapped," Stephen tells Mike, "It was my fault." They keep trying to call her, but it's not working, as she's not answering her phone.
She comes back on set, angry that she was wrapped and then had to go back. They have four hours to wrap, and Krista comes on set for the sex scene. "Any time there is a sex scene, it's difficult, it doesn't matter who it's with," she explains. John shows her how he wants her. "I thought things would go smoothly," John says, "I was so wrong." She's mad because her butt is going to be in the air for the shot and how she was being portrayed in the sex scene. "It got me a little ticked off," John explains, "She doesn't want to appear in it. I think it's a thing of separating herself from the past." They shoot the sex scene with Boss Man and Tuffie and it was an easy shot. "It wasn't that big of a deal," he says of the scene, "It's just when a person says no."
They're now down to half an hour before they wrap for the day. They're no on overtime trying to get everything finished on their last shot for the day. "Our days start to spiral out of control; we're spending money everyday we're there. There's no more money coming from the studio," Ben explains why this is a problem. They're now one hour into overtime still shooting a scene, eventually they wrap shortly after, but it's still an hour over.
