Apparently, I'm good at dying
Yup. I'm good at dying. Seems that's all I'm ever good for now when I volunteer for a friend's movie, not that I mind. I've been a disembodied head for a ghost, a zombie or "decrepit dead", and then I've been Casey Becker from "Scream" and got killed for a homework assignment. Not to mention the plans for another movie which, guess what? My character dies.
It's lots of fun so i don't mind. :)
And there's another idea my film friend, Ashley, is bouncing around for a modern day Alice in Wonderland. Should be lots of fun and I get to be the white rabbit! Yay!
So dying last night was interesting. Mainly because we weren't filming, only doing still shots. So i had to hold the pose and face until she had her picture. Mostly easy until it came to facial expressions. It got difficult then because Eric, our Ghost face, kept making me laugh when i was supposed to be scared.
That, and it always appeared as if i had a bit of a "Derp" face when i was trying to act terrified.
At one point Ashley was quoted in saying "You look like a retarded squirrel."
We went hunting beforehand for the Ghost Face costume and all the while Ashley was fangirling. "Scream" is her favorite movie so acting it out was making her dreams come true. Lots of laughs and stabbing with a plastic knife.
Eric got to play two parts: Ghost Face and Casey's boyfriend, Steve, who dies.
We had waaaay more fun than we should have taping Eric to that lawn chair on the porch. We had to tape over his mouth as well and then for added effect, I put ketchup on his face for the blood. Totally convincing. More so than the red scarf which served as his entrails once he died... just looked like a scarf on his lap.
To get his scared expressions Ashley told him "Beckie is your girlfriend and she wants to have sex with you!" His face was hilariously convincing even though he knew we were joking.
Eric was the best Ghost Face ever. He had the perfect build and totally made me unafraid of him. If I'm ever really attacked by someone in a Ghost Face costume i won't be able to not laugh. I think one of the best moments came about when we were almost done and Eric was growing tired. Ashley said "No giving up yet. Now you have to strangle her..." Eric's eyes lit up, he looked at me, then back at Ashley. "Really?! <3" Ashley nodded and he got this adorable grin before putting his mask back on and clapping "All my dreams are coming true!<3"
Oh, Eric. You and your love for "Beckie abuse". But i know you do it because you're slightly twisted and care.
Then there was the cold wet grass at 2 am that i had to lay on when it was below 40 degrees. i had to lay on it, roll around on it, and then get dragged on it. My back and everything else attached was numb.
I hate the cold with a passion.
Another thing... Why the hell does she lose the knife but keep the phone? I was holding that phone for a good five hours! Really... Drop the phone and punch him in the face! not that hard! losing the phone frees up a hand to fight him off and possibly save your life! but noo... you have to keep the phone with you. What if you miss that call you've been waiting for?
But it was an amazing night spent with my friends. I wouldn't have anyone else kill me :)
