UPDATE: The Death of Joe Britz

Rob here.

Today we, once again, filmed some of Joe Britz and today, we got a LOT done. Not just short comical scenes either. We got some great, hilarious, story pushing and dramatic scenes done today and I loved every minute of it.

The day began, for me, picking up Kyle. I knocked on his door, rang his door bell, and knocked on his door again. No answer, I ended up having to call Kayla (sorry Kayla) and get his number. I finally called, and got him. From there we made our way over to Johnny Boy's house.

Luke was waiting outside for us when we arrived. He looked distraught and angry... as Luke always does when he is just standing there starring into space. We made our way in and set up the house as we needed it.

Daniel Brian showed up at 1 and we began filming. We started with Death's first scene which was very funny. Took us about an hour to film. Boy was it worth it. A lot of very funny stuff and well...

As I have stated before, I wrote the role of Death for myself but decided to forfeit the role for the movie because I felt Kyle would be perfect. At the read through he proved it to me 100% that he would be able to do an incredibly good job at it, but after filming Kyle has proved something else to me: He is the only person who can play the role to its true level of what it can be. The looks he gives, the way he uses his hands and body. It is all perfect and he adds things that, well, I would never think of doing. Kyle has elevated Death from simply a comical role to a real person. Kyle has always been a big inspiration for me. We have a very similar build, and when I was younger I admired him in all the shows he used to do. I can remember him vividly in "Kiss Me Kate", "Joesph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", and "Grease" (he stole the show in each.)

We also filmed the final scene in the movie between Death and Joe and it was a very sweet scene. Touching and the fitting end to the movie. Simple, nice, and with a level of understanding between Death and Joe that I was hoping for.

Speaking of touching, Ray had to deliver the most touching monolouge in the movie today. When you see it, you will know what I'm talking about. It is my 2nd favorite bit of the show (the 1st being, what is now being called, "the Jesus Section" which we have yet to film) He did a great job of it. He really worked hard on memorizing it. He really does deliver it with a lot of power and anger at his friend who is seemingly ruining his life over a girl.

Also, Ray and I filmed a scene between Joe and Russel after Joe has spoken with Death. It is very funny, especially Ray's dance of victory. A lot of Ray pelvis, right in my face. I know what you are thinking: "Damn, that's hot" and, oh boy, it is. It was hilarious to see Ray do that. Seriously, I think Ray just likes to try and make me break character. Luke looked like he was almost in tears behind the camera during that dance.

We have finished all of Ray's stuff at the house. We have almost finished all of Kyle's stuff. All we have to do to film at the house now is Gwen's stuff. A big scene between Death and Joe, well, most of it and one scene with 2 smaller characers. Then we just have 1 day of location shooting.

I love this. Unlike my last 2 films I tried to get going [Passing Period(Finding Emo) and Night of the Teenage Zombies), we are so going to finish this.

On time even!
