'Happiness' continues...

This friday we wrap principal photography with Dominique. And then it's just b-roll that has to be shot. The toughest weather condition had to be last friday. It was freezing, I was holding the camera with no gloves on (i operate it better that way) and my hands were so cold they hurt. I had to warm them on a cup of hot pineapple flavored tea, which I ended up burning my tongue on (ouch!). I'm going to check what they are saying about the weather this friday.

Other than the harsh weather conditions, it's been a blast, the extras we used did a splendid job. As well as Tony S. short scene in the muggy arcade. :-)

Principal Photography Continues...

Wow! What a week it has been. 'Happiness is You' is going well. We shot for four days this week. Now we have just a couple of scenes left which will wrap up next week. Yoriko who has played the role of Dollie in the movie gives such a splendid performance I believe people will be impressed. Dominique, it's a joy seeing her smile in the freezing weather, it defiantely helps to keep me going. She gives a commanding performance. The both of them have been such wonderful soldiers, every night we shot they gave their all.

Lots of respect to the crew...tough people I have on my team, and to my make up artist, Gabriella, she's been doing such a wonderful job, she's quick and accurate with her work.

I believe this is the best cast and crew that I've worked with...Thank U all!!!
We wrap next week...they are hanging in there. :-)

Upcoming Proofs

Look out for production stills of my new movie. The making of the movie will be captured on tape!

On our way

Chinatown. Less than 16 hours principal photography begins. The intensity of 'Happiness is You' will light up the streets in Chinatown. All those beautiful people. All those lights. All those cars. All those...ducks. Yummy!!
Hard to describe how I feel. Dominique and Yoriko are both very excited! They play the main characters.  We had two rehearsals days. And off we go! Lol. The excitement flows to our Makeup artist as well. I should be sleeping but excitement and the last few things I had to do had to be done.

So check out the make up artist who is going to show us what she's made of today. :-)
