Second day of shooting, interiors, and a lot less physically demanding, but long. I left home at 6:45 this morning, and arrived back home at midnight. Luckily, tomorrow we can go directly to location, and we don’t have to be there until 10.

Dialog stuff today, and lots of “walk there, stand still, wait until the director yells cut”. Leo did a lot of scenes with Brenda, who we also worked with on Comando Zorras. She’s always fun to work with, and was very patient despite having gotten very little sleep the night before, and having to wait many hours. Oh, and her screams and moans of ecstasy were quite convincing.

Speaking of that, today I did the infamous sex scene, of course. It was with Keyla, whom I already knew, and who was an absolute lady and a professional, which helped a lot. But despite that, I can safely say that it was the most difficult movie-related thing I’ve ever done. I had expected it to be uncomfortable, but it’s awkward, and it’s hard work. Sex is also hard work, of course, but there’s a payoff. Simulated sex is all the sweat and physical activity with none of the fun. I think the scene turned out pretty well, though, after the first couple of takes, it got easier. All in all, much worse than I expected, and I’m glad to get it over with.

Before the actual sex scene, we did a shot of me dropping my pants, cut at right above the knee, and since Alex wanted the movements from that angle, I was basically dry humping a dish washing machine for 5 minutes while making grunting noises. It was less awkward than the sex scene itself, but a lot weirder. And the edge of the dishwasher chafed my testicles.

Later on, we basically got paid to play Mortal Kombat 3, which was a pretty good ending to the day. The script called for a scene where Øyvind and I are distracted by video games while our young thief escapes, so I brought my Xbox to the set and loaded up an emulator. Lots of people played while they were waiting, and the scene turned out well too.

Sleep now. I hurt all over.
