You: shhh....
Whilst attending
GallifreyOne 22,
I received a text from
Jerry White,
who'd directed me in his USC film
Greeters
eleven months earlier.
He was running sound for another USC project, and they needed a character to glare at a young couple being a bit too boisterous in a book store.
The shoot was Sunday night; I initially replied I was attending a convention and could not accept, when I realized it was a night shoot, after the convention was over.
We texted back and forth and hammered out I could do it if I could be picked up; even though bus-wise I'd easily be able to get to the location at Eagle Rock near Colorado Boulevard, the time would make me too late.
It turned out for the project one of the producers was
Oliver Riley-Smith,
who had directed me in his USC
All You Need Is Plove
project in November 2009.
At the convention I was assisting my friend
Pamela Salem
selling autographed photos after her being a Surprise Guest during the convention's live panel
PodShock
recording Sunday afternoon.
Due to traffic Oliver ran a few minutes late, and we managed to find each other, and off we went.
Essentially as previously described, all I do is shush the lead couple when the girl gets a bit loud reacting to finding a specific book.
As the aisle in the small mom-and-pop type bookshop was science fiction and fantasy, I found the David Eddings series
The Belgariad,
et al.
Understandly, my character was browsing through
Pawn of Prophesy,
the first book in the ten book series
(technical two five-book series:
The Belgariad
immediately followed by
The Mallorean).
With additional coverage, my filmed shushes became behind-the-camera shushes.
Running audio and boom mic, Jerry the did my shushes as wild tracks after the lead girl's lines, and I was wrapped.
Oliver drove me back to where I'd been staying near nearby Pasadena, and conveyed that the film should be complete sometime in May or so.
