'Hounded' - Behind the scenes

I had to iron these two yellow tee shirts the night before. While everyone brought a heap of props, I was charged to bring these tee shirts and some other minor stuff.




On the day of the shoot, Big Sam picked us up at RMIT. As Charlotte made her own way to Brighton, she isn't in these shots.

Big Sam


Alice (eh, this shot lacks exposure :O )


Lily


We began to dress up the first bathroom and bathed it with every fucking red object that we could lay our hands on from the house and stuff that we brought.



Alice smudging the mirror with toothpaste. Coz real homes have smudges on their mirrors. Last I checked, my mirror doesn't have any smudges. Haha.



Red bottles. Red vials. Red, red, red!


Shooting's not yet commenced, and the Director's already monkeying around.


Sam taking a shut eye as Lily 'looks on', unimpressed.


The Chinese believe that the colour red bring luck and prosperity. If anything. this bathroom looks like it could scare any Chinese away.





We moved upstairs to a different bathroom and dressed it up in yellow this time.






Sam found a stack of National Geographic periodicals. We cracked up laughing. Charming, how yellow!


We didn't notice it at first, but Sam pointed out that the clown on the right's rather obscene.


Nothing was spared in our hunt for yellow products...


We even raided the musty-smelling storeroom for knick-knacks that may come in useful.


Our actors have arrived, and are busy re-reading the last minute changes that Alice had made. Alice was busy too, putting the actors through their motions.


"So, remember not to stand on this floor tile. It'll explode if you do."


"What was that again? I have to rinse my mouth with Toilet Duck!?!?"


In character


This is the only shot that John's in.


Sam brought this funky toothpaste and toothbrush holder.


"Do I put my hands these way?"


Paul and the tech staff told us never to leave the equipment lying around unattended. Yeah right.


Lily taking a rest, deep in thought.


'Greg' and 'William', taking a break.


Planning and planning and more planning...


"Cmon, we wana see your man muscles!"


Charlotte, looking like she's just about to strike Lily unawares. Scarrry...


A funny moment


Camera lying around unattended again...


Lily doing a good job dressing up our 'cinema staff'


We had to dress up the Kaleide Theatre too
