The Failed Trasharama Part 2






So I'm all good to go, and now I'm just waiting patiently.

Tony was the first to arrive. I don't remember if he came over that day, or crashed the night before, but I do remember he was there. My girlfriend at the time was working that weekend - thank Christ - so it was just us. Tony had talked through an idea he wanted to try and shoot if we got some time. I didn't think we would have, but it sounded like a cool idea that we could do at a later date. So we waited.

And Waited.

A couple hours later, the camera guy finally showed up. He brought the camera, a mic, some lights and a few other home made bits and pieces. We all sat down, discussed the project, went over the storyboards. I discussed some some of the shots I wanted to do, and how we were going to achieve them. Camera guy suggested getting a few shots done, but everything was dependant on Lisa, our main girl, arriving.

A little while later, more of my friends showed up. They had to come out on public transport, and they were held up. That's what took them so long to arrive. I asked if they had heard anything from Lisa, but she hadn't contacted them. I tried calling, but she wasn't answering. It was getting later, and I was worried about getting the outdoor shots we needed before nightfall.

Around 4, we went and grabbed something to eat. By the time we got back, another friend - Ryan - had finally showed up. It was quickly getting darker, and I was getting pissed off. I knew how much trouble I had to go through to arrange this weekend, and the thought of getting nothing done was annoying me greatly. Finally I turned to Tony and asked if we could get some of his idea shot with the people we had available. He said why not, we ad-libbed a bunch of costumes from some stuff I had and took off for a local Graveyard we had always wanted to shoot in.

Then the real fun started. More to come.
