There's not enough love in the Actors' Lounge, so here's something. :cool:

Some of you may remember my post a few months back, about how I blew an audition. (Too painful to think about, so I won't link it). Anyways... I ended up with the part. Huzzzah!

It is for a short film directed by Michael Arkof (and his crew) from UC Irvine.

It's not really fair to fully explain my part in the film (aside from saying I play the father)... it's a bit surreal and I would not care to detail any spoilers, especially before the edit gets underway.

I couldn't really take any good pics on this shoot. A lot of the filming with the mains had already happened... and half of my scenes were along a really narrow river, with an even narrower path along the side. Not a lot of room to take snapshots, without risking falling in.

Regardless... Here are some pics.

This is the cast. Me, my wife and two sons.

The two sons are the main characters... the wife and I provide background.

...and I know all you ladies are thinking, "OMG Zen has a wife!"... err...

...no, I don't. It's called acting, and I am certainly most single, ladies! http://www.stevenrichards.com/images/smiley_creepy.gif

This is the crew.

I'll have to edit this in the morn, to clarify who each of them are. They all worked very hard, and each was responsible for certain tasks. They are good people.

This is Ryo, with the XL-2.

Look at the camera setup.

The dolly is laid down (on raised stumps) on a very narrow, very steep and very rocky path. The type of path that mountain goats usually avoid.

Anyways...

We are shooting the final scenes of this short "The Woods" this coming weekend. I'll try to have someone else take pics of the events... I can't even begin to tell the long tale of "prune foot" 'til I have some images to show the why & how.

Great stuff man!

Looks like they are using a pre-production G35 unit there on the XL2. Be sure to let us know when the edit is finished!

The first thing I ask when offered a part that takes me on location is... Catered?

ZS, you need a blog of your own bud. ;) Sounds like a lot fun.
