Cornered Production Blog #3: Days 2 and 3!
Whew. Things are happening fast. This month is the last major month of filming, but I have to say things are looking good and our actors…they are just awesome! A page dedicated to Cornered will be going up soon, with the cast bios and much more!
Preparing to shoot a scene outside a Federal Courthouse downtown!
Anyway, Day 3 found us working in front on of the Federal Court House in downtown Austin.Once again I found myself acting this day (don’t worry, I’m not the star!) with the wonderful Lindsey Lemke. Things went smoothly, but we did have an issue with a feisty grackle, and Lindsey decided to tempt fate, the video of which you can find on our Facebook page!
Also providence smiled on us as, during filming, we ran into a duo of break dancers who were blocking out their shots for a music video they were about to shoot. We took a short break so we could talk with them, and it resulted in one of them, the very talented Yuki Ishiguro, joined our cast! We were lucky to find him!
Day 3 was our first big, long day at the ghost town, where the majority of the major action takes place. It was a long, but really, really good day. Actors Donald Brooks, Sharmita Bhattacharya, and Lindsey Lemke did a really, really great job that day, and boy, the temperature was hot, but not nearly what it would be for Day 5…
Donald Brooks and Sharmita Bhattacharya listen while I explain the next shot.

So that’s all for right now! Next time I’ll review how Day 4 and 5 went, and with some great production stills here and on our Facebook page! Next time I’ll introduce the bad guys!
