That's a Wrap!

Bryan completed his film Touching the Sun yesterday. We filmed the last scene in a school gym with Jerry and Randall as the actors. It was a lot of fun even though the boom-mike is heavy and painful to hold at times. First we did some warm-up exercises which were a lot of fun - especally when the actors had to sing! They did a pretty good job! 

Rehearsal

The scene is where Randall's character Dale and Jerry's Steve coincidentally meet at the gym. The scene had to be shot from many angles. Some were even through glass so we had to watch for our reflections. Bryan hid his by wrapping black cloth around himself. 

Bryan is trying to communicate with Jerry through the glass. 

All in all this 3 minute scene took about 3-4 hours to shoot. It went very well. 

After the scene was finished Randall, Bryan and I headed to my house to take a few more shots and record some audio.

OSU Homecoming

Yesterday my darling Bryan and I headed to Stillwater in order to see the fabulous House Decorations at Oklahoma State University made by the fraternities and sororities. This has been a tradition for many years. The decorations are made out of metal frames (pipes and chicken wire) and filled with tissue paper. It takes months to build them. I was really impressed, especially with the things that moved. Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Haircut

I realized that my hair was getting too long so I got my hair cut today despite the fact that there was a big storm overhead. This is how it looked:

Halloween

I guess it'll soon be Halloween. Our neighbours are already putting up some decorations. Halloween seems to be a bigger thing in the US than in Norway or England. I'm used to just a few people go trick-or-treat-ing, but here it's a real big deal. Here are some pictures from our neighbour's garden.
