Step Ten: Realize Your Timing is Not Always Fortune's Timing: New England Disaster Zone for Halloween

Had to postpone production of "Wayward" due to a massive snowstorm in OCTOBER. We got 14 inches of snow, which wouldn't have worked for filming. No power since Saturday and won't have it until ETA this Saturday. So post-production will also be delayed for another week.


"Wayward" production will happen soon. I'll keep you posted.

Till then, I thought I'd mention how Halloween was ruined. No trick-or-treating happened in town and the house was cold and dark. I did get a chance to charge my computer at town hall. So we watched Casper, then I watched Scream 4, which I realllly liked. It had the perfect melt of cheesiness, freakiness, and rhythm. I really liked Emma Roberts and Hayden Panetierre in it. I had to fast forward really fast through it first so i wouldn't be terrorized watchin it through for real. It worked! I wasn't scared after, yet i still got to appreciate the twists, turns, and ghost-face scares.

I watched the making-of and commentary. It gave good insight to what goes on in an actor's mind on set and while filming. For example, Hayden mentioned how she panics if she only has a one-word line in a scene (i.e. --"Kirby, what's your favorite scary movie?" --"Bambi"). Although the scene is not about you or about you saying this one word, you still want to say it the best way you can with the most effectiveness.
