So tired (day 1)
First day of filming, from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening, most of the time standing up or walking briskly, in a knee-length black leather coat, in the sun. I think I got mildly dehydrated at one point, I was nauseous and dizzy until someone got me some water.
On the bright side: We looked badass. Also, I got to walk into a guy at full clip and knock him down.
Later, we did a scene walking along a crowded street. Since we’re bad guys, we were supposed to knock a couple of people over, so one guy and one girl from the crew were strategically placed, and the camera was in a location where it was not too obvious. The takes looked great, but people’s reactions were pretty impressive. When I hit the girl with my shoulder at good speed, spinning her around and making her fall over, people rushed in to help her, and apparently one guy wanted to run after me and beat me up. Ah, realism.
Call at 7 AM tomorrow, we’re doing interiors, which should be quite a bit more relaxed. Also, I have a sex scene, which is described in the script as “fucking like animals”. I’ve never actually done a sex scene before, so that should be interesting. As George C. Scott reputedly said to his co-star before doing one: “I apologize if I get an erection, and I apologize if I don’t”.
