There were a bunch that I didn't end up using because I didn't want to overload the post with photos. I'll probably save those for another blog post that'll just be pictures.

You can see her goose flesh from the cold.


Haha I was reading this on my phone and had to zoom in absurdly to see what you meant here, feeling like a perv for looking at the photos like that. Good thing I wasn't on the bus or anything..

I totally recognise the shots against anxiety thing. Sometimes you just need to calm the nerves in any way possible to perform.

How dare you pinch-zoom on my woman! I am incensed!

Yeah, taking a few shots to calm the nerves totally makes sense. But Jessica went a bit beyond that, swigging Vodka until she got so drunk that she could hardly walk and people had to escort her to the bathroom or she'd get lost. She somehow did an amazing job of hiding how drunk she was on camera, though you can see it a bit during the Rubik's cube scene in the "Totally Cool" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLhDjb0jXh-SJaw4WKD6GrgRWr-mQIb-gj&v=Qk2jiwtI5Ek). She totally had the drunk giggles at that point.

Haha I can only imagine tightly organising everything, timing all the shots, utilising every minute, worrying about the electricity supply etc. Then there's Jessica, smashed on vodka, unable to find the bathroom and giggling away.

Did you panic at any point?

I never panicked, but I definitely got frustrated. I'm pretty sure everyone was miserable while shooting those outside scenes, mostly because of how cold it was, but also because of how far behind schedule we were, and the electrical issues, and all that. But I had to force myself to keep a positive attitude, because if I didn't, then things would've only gotten worse. After all, we couldn't afford to pay any of the cast or crew, so they were all there helping us because they are friends and they were doing us a favor. The least I could do was try and make the shoot as fun as possible for everyone, in spite of all the mishaps.

I guess vodka for everyone wouldn't have been the answer though  8)

Nope, Jessica hogged that all to herself. I did give offerings of blueberry muffins, vanilla cookies, and pizza, though.
