Jacob Hill (Director of Photography) takes a second job in these hard economic times.

Day: 22

Location: Stuart Photo, in Stuart, FL; St Lucie Catholic Church, in Port St Lucie, FL

Phrase of the day: “This is the photo they’re gonna use on the news if I ever get arrested for anything.”

Poor Jacob.  It’s not enough that he slaves away day in, day out on this set — today he had to get another job.  Yes, the cinematographer swallowed his pride and became… a one hour photo tech?

The story was this: long ago, we thought it might be funny to have a weird cameo for the one hour photo shop.  However, when Bruce Campbell and Will Arnett fell through, we realized that we had the perfect guy for our cameo shot right here on set – who better to portray a grumpy photo worker than our camera-man himself?

Remember – in these tough economic times, your one hour photo technician could very well be an award-winning cinematographer between jobs.

Later in the day we returned to St Lucie Catholic Church for a few more exteriors and some funny line-work by our two leads.  Anyone know who’s on Nick’s shirt in these scenes?

Angry storm. Sad crew.

Day: 21

Location: Castillo de San Marcos, in Saint Augustine, FL

Phrase of the day: “Four weeks in and this is the first day we’re rained out? Not terribly bad, I guess.”

After four hours north, some rain, and four hours back around again, the crew is again united in Stuart. Sadly, we didn’t get to film at the Castillo thanks to some big, angry, vicious storm clouds. But we’re not giving up – even if it means we have to schedule a pickup day after we wrap.

Day: 20

Location: Ross Witham Beach, in Stuart, FL / St Lucie Catholic Church, in Port St Lucie, FL

Phrase of the day: “Wrap on the beach – can everyone say YAY?!”

Today was our very ever last day on the beach (thank goodness) and we celebrated by throwing Kelli (Natalie) into the water for her first confrontation against the ocean.  Nick (Nicholas) was pretty happy that this time HE wasn’t the one being pelted by sand.

After that, we drove over to St Lucie Catholic Church to film one of Sara’s “spying” escapades.  She dressed up as the Virgin Mary and had a great time playing “Scooby Doo Adventure Time” with various statues around the place.  The entire staff of the church has been more than gracious to let us film there, and everyone’s really excited about it — so thank you, St Lucie Catholic Church!  We appreciate it.
