We have been shooting for 5 weekends now and we have finally hit our stride. You know I always want to keep a running blog during production to have constant updates but it is so damn hard, but I am going to try and be more diligent!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SLAUGHTER DAUGHTER SHOOT:
-Actors Ruby Larocca and Danny Morales went above and beyond with their dedication to their characters. I always love when actors add in their little quirks to make the characters come alive, and Ruby and Danny did just to perfection. I wish there was a category for Horror's Cutest On-Screen Couple, because they could win it in a heartbeat.
-Ruby ad-libbing some great comedic moments and then being able to switch it up and become intensely frightened. Dynamic acting!
-Nicola Fiore's "Carrie-esque" look into the camera as one of the characters gets slaughtered!
-The patience of the cast and crew and Monica and Mel as the night wore on.

A typical shoot day for Danny Morales, he's only sleeping
kids... or is he.

LOW-LIGHTS FROM SLAUGHTER DAUGHTER SHOOT:
-Dominos took over an hour and half to deliver 4 pizzas pushing the shoot back and back and back...
-Not testing the special FX before shooting (I put the blame on myself not the FX person).
-Having Ruby lay on the floor in blood for almost 2 hours while completing another FX shot.
-Leaving Danny in prosthetic make up for almost 2 hours while filming another death scene.
CONCLUSION:
All and all it wasn't a bad weekend, as I said before we hit our stride, which is always hard to do on a micro-budget production. We get better and better each weekend and we have some hard scenes coming up. Also, Leesa Rowland (from TV's Conviction and Troma's Class of Nuke Em High 2 and 3) has her first scenes coming up and I want everything to go as smooth as possible!
Until next time, don't forget to bring your daughter to slaughter!
