A few months back I took out our trash and this huge roll of kaki green fabric was sitting by our dumpster! I was so excited, I always dreamed of getting to find fabric in the trash just like Peter! I wasn't sure what I would do with it, but there was no way I was going to turn down free fabric...
So I made sand bags. We had a flourescent light bank fall on the first day of shooting PREY. And we were SO lucky that no one was hurt. But we learned our lesson and Michael put in a request for sand bags. So I just wipped out my stash of sport zippers and rainbow webbing and put together 4 sand bags. For free! We went down to the beach and filled up gallon ziplocks with sand, and in just a few hours time we had plenty of weight to keep our lights upright on set.
Last night (and this morning) was our second day of shooting for PREY. This is just a little sneak peek of the props we used. It was great having Michelle on set working her magic with set dressing and props and lots of stickiness! And Eric at Morb Fx wowed us all with the awesome blood and makeup FX!
And, of course Mark brought the creep-factor as the twisted serial killer "John". I made his shirt from my vintage, 1956 McCall's 2118 western shirt pattern. It looked amazing drenched in blood!
