Last Day of Principle Photography: The Farm

That's a wrap!
Abby and Mike join hardy crew stalwarts Erin, Shant, Kaz,
Ben and Greg for day 21 of a shoot that lasted from August
to October.

Getting some mouse sound

A distinguished actor joins the shoot as "Farm Boss"

Who's been looking through an eyepiece for three months?

After a long shoot, the "thousand mile stare"

Rock stars

Abby spends a quiet moment before filming her scene...

...when suddenly this farm feline jumps up with her
just as the camera rolls, creating a wonderful spontaneous
shot. Great serendipity on the last day!

How do you stand it?

MUCH bigger part...
