Day 18 of filming...was yesterday

We have a week left - which feels rather odd. It's all gone by so fast. Let's see...last week consisted of shooting a couple scenes of "high school" life, of filming 'Armagedon', of filming Dave's 'party', of filming a courtroom scene, more scenes with cars - though not the complicated ones yet, and many cool bikers!
Friday night we took over the Juneau cul-de-sac for a couple of hours and filmed the climax of the movie. This included Hollywooding a crashing car, many bikers who were willing to drive up and down the street many times as we tried to capture the scene perfectly. Oh - and a classic corvette that wasn't allowed to move. It was an eventful night with over 30 extras on set who were not used to camera acting. Organized chaos. But fun, unforgettable organized chaos.
Saturday we only filmed for a half day, but it was the last time we'll be filming with Lacey (who plays Laney). She leaves for India today. We send her off with many prayers for health, safety, and a good time over there!
In the week to come we still have much to film, but mostly we'll be dealing with Ted and Bert, our two policemen. So - many burgers and fries wil be eaten/dropped/run over. Ah well.

Who's keeping this updated? Vaughn? Whoever it is...you're ingenius. Thanks for letting me peek at the OC-meets-Hollywood party. Wish I coulda been there to help...

Best wishes with the rest of filming (if there's any left by the time you read this). I hope to see the final product someday!
