We completed our third and final day of shooting on the short film. I am very thankful to the cast and crew and friends who have come together to make a piece of art. Production on this film has been a great adventure and I look forward to the next stage as we complete shooting.

This was the “lightest” of the three day shoot, but still no small task. We had three different sequences to cover, in three different parts of Los Angeles, but it all came together nicely.

Here are some images. And THANK YOU to everyone involved.

Gavin’s first episode of Iron Man: Armored Adventures airs this month on Monday the 24th! Full Details below. And don’t worry, if you don’t have Nicktoons as part of your cable lineup, you can watch the episode streaming after it’s broadcast.

Phew!!! What a day. Up at 4:30, Krispy Kreme by 5:00, throwing our lovely actress into the ocean by 7:00 AM… camera’s rolling of course! And despite an entire Triathlon being between us and our first shooting location we got everything we needed and a beautiful overcast sky for the opening sequence of the film! A BIG THANKS to everyone involved yesterday!

We were all over the place, the beach at dawn, the highways of Los Angeles by noon, and Downtown by the mid afternoon. An additional thanks to the beach services guys for not kicking us out and to photographer Joe Rubenstein for donating a fantastic location for our downtown shoot.

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

Wow!!! What an insane adventure we had in the high desert yesterday. Everyone involved did a fantastic job, and although hot with a sun beating down, the desert cooperated very nicely with us (except for a desert dog that chased two of our cars trying to herd them and bite their tires).

(Rhianne and Kristin making some shade for the camera… and cameraman)

I don’t want to say too much about what’s going on in these images, because I don’t want to give anything away, but you can tell there was a lot of hard work and fun to be had.

A BIG THANKS to cast and crew for an excellent first day shooting!
