A Baker’s Dozen of Plums

I am happy to inform the readers that we are into production. We have shot a multitude of scenes, even venturing out to the Walpole Public Library for a scene. As I write this blog, my fellow crew members are deciding on pictures and props to use for scenes in the movie. They failed to inform me, I am not in any of the picture they need to take and therefore dressed up for nothing. At least it will get me into the mood to blog.

Xavier Grades is my first experience with acting and I have enjoyed every second of it so far. Obviously, I was a bit nervous to start and filming hasn’t gone without a couple mistakes on my part, yet nothing has truly slowed our filming process. In one of our first filmed scenes, twice in a row I ended up looking directly at the camera when turning the corner and realized it immediately. For one of these instances, I probably stared right into the lens for a good 5 seconds. During this same scene, I think Andrew Hazerjian got a kick out of being able to push me up against a wall seeing he is always trying to argue and start thing with me. We all know how that would of turned out if it wasn’t a scene.

Overall, the filming process has gone very smooth so far, expect for the fact that Art is drawing just about every hallway in the school. Despite this setback, Plum and the other crews have powered through. Oscars nominations have just been announced and all I can say is that those actors are lucky that Xavier Grades did not comes out during Oscar season.
