Thanks, everyone! The two of them had a good time scripting everything and doing the filming, and I was just plain happy they were enjoying themselves. That’s one thing I’m really glad I did – give Hayley a camcorder for her birthday when she was nine. I remember wondering to myself, is this kind of overboard, for a nine-year-old? And it turns out, filmmaking is definitely her calling in life!

For the scenes they were both in, they set up the camcorder on a tripod (which, unfortunately, we left at the cottage!). Since they’re usually short on actors, they’ve gotten quite used to filming themselves that way. I can’t imagine the patience it takes, though, to keep setting the camcorder up to get all the different angles! For the scenes only one of them was in, the other would shoot the footage.

I love this. What a great way to spend summer vacation. Love the fight scenes and the container moving. The special effects were great too. .-= Nicole´s last blog ..This Just In! The Invention of Everything Else, by Samantha Hunt =-.
