Still reeling from the excitement, I am proud to say that we have finished shooting Prep School Blues Season Two. Today was an excellent shooting day, with only two scenes. I can't wait to get the footage put together and up on the web. In my opinion, the show has only gotten better in every aspect.
All my thanks and love to our wonderful cast: Nick, Bryan, Sara, Fanelli and Alyssa. You guys all without exception owned those characters and brought them to life.
And shout out to our amazing crew: Kevin on camera, Andrea rallying the troops, Celine on audio, along with Dustin and Noah rocking my world. Special thanks also goes to Alex, Shaina, Parisa, Tyrus and the always fabulous Patricia "Tish" Hill.
Gonna go hibernate for a while, but for now live, love and be happy.

PS. Favorite Quotes...
"Chris, you really are the Queen Bee of this shoot." -Bryan, on reference to my tiara and pink feather robe
"It really is like Gossip Girl!" - Alyssa, stating the obvious
"So basically, make it gayer?" -Nick, about my direction for a scene
"This is as far as I can go, I don't wear underwear." -Fanelli, on disrobing for the final scene
"Wow, I'm really uncomfortable right now." -Kevin, on my compliments
"We should rename the show: Soccer. And make it all about soccer." -Sara, on a possible new title
"I want to see the third season set in a mental hospital after all the characters have been driven insane by all their drama. And I play an evil nurse." -Shaina, sharing her ideas for the next episode

Day 2 Wrapped!
I am pleased to report the successful completion of Day 2's shooting. We wrapped basically on time and shot more than half of Monday's scenes in the process. And honestly, I was impressed how well the very familiar location doubled for so many places. From Bryan popping a balloon right into the boom (poor Celine!) to avoiding the threat of thunderstorms to shoot kick ass exteriors to a particularly passionate bit of improv (Shaina covered her eyes!), the day was full of surprises. Wrap on Bryan and Nick today as well, much earlier than planned. Two more scenes and we're in the clear. Thanks everyone!
Love is all around, C.

Day 1 Wrapped!
Many sun burns later, we have returned from the epic first day of shooting in beautiful Inwood Hill Park, somewhere in the far reaches of 211th street in Manhattan. The exterior shoots went smoothly and we finished ahead of schedule (always a pleasure). Some highlights include the miniature soccer players upon our arrival, my cameo appearance as Coach Chardonnay and of course the amazing sports training montages. I'd like to thank everyone for their hard work today (especially new crew members Celine and Dustin, welcome!) and I'm very excited about tomorrow's shoot.
PSB... FYVP
Prep School Blues... For Your Viewing Pleasure
You know, it's pretty fantastic how the theme of the photoshoot has NADA at all to do with the actual Season 2 scripts (chris...!). And I say this because it would've been great if I had actually shot these in theme of soccer tryouts/school play/prom... I mean we technically already shot a prom scene, but I could've seriously kicked ass with some models in soccer outfits. Anyhooooooo, here are some edited pics from the Beach Series. Ummmm, no disclaimers or anything, buuuuuut... hahaha, no. I don't need to explain myself.
I think they're pretty neat.
In other news, Australia is going well. I'm freezing because it's winter time here now, and I'm up in the mountains so that doesn't really help, temperature wise... So everything is pretty bland here, where I am in the Yarra Valley region of Melbourne, and unfortunately because we're doing production everyday here, I'm kept pretty busy, so I don't really have time to leave the studio and go do shit (like have a nightcap at the pub, or go dancing with the locals... [p.s. Aussie boys are either reaaaally unattractive or reallly sexy, and when they're good, they're freaking GOOD... i'm totz getting my perv on here], and goddamn it I really wanted to go out west to the Outback!), so yeah. The only joy I've found here (besides the peace and tranquility and utter beauty of the picturesque landscape) is the fact that even though fashion here isn't what it should be (even though Australia is like hella Americanized), I have found the CUTEST fucking underwear here, ranging from G-Strings to Hipsters to Boy Shorts... so effin cute. I'm literally gonna come back to the states with $100 AUD worth of underwear. My junk is gonna feel so nice wrapped in that fabric.
ALright, so on to some FoTOz...

I decided to include a little bit of the script in this picture, just to provide a little dialogue between the two characters in the image. And it fits too because Sara (loveyoubitch!) does look like an ice-queen here, though that may have something to do with the fact that... oh nevermind (It's amazing that the cast and crew have more scandalz going on than the actual fictional [based on true life] characters do... simply amazing] hahah, lolz)
And then this is my retro-50s throwback, just because I felt like it. Sara and Fanelli look so perfectly posed in this picture, and with a little color adjustment and some overlaying filters, I made this look.
This reminds me of those Calvin Klein ads where everyone is all like emo//serious and glaring at each other or at the camera. This would be an ad for Ray-Bans and Nike trunks.
So this is just what some of the Edgar/Gabrielle photos look like post-editing. Fun stuff, no?
Stay tuned for more, kids.
