Being Neighborly

On Wednesday night we shot the second to last pickup of the movie.  An inset on the hand of a dead Saxon was needed and our neighbor obligingly came over to play the role. 

It was a very simple shot and we surprised ourselves by knocking it out in under an hour

Mr. Bivens, the next door neighbor lays on a camping mat and wears his coat half way to ward off the October chill.  Notice the can of black spray-paint in the foreground and the clip on light – both mainstays of Pendragon production.
