30 takes or so later, it´s in the can. It´s 4 am again. What´s left for today are some detail reshoots we missed while editing the phase I material. One shot is blood dripping down from a steel door. Nicole, our make up girl, has prepped some artificial blood and applies it to the steel door leaning against a wall. This shot is in a complete different location later in the film. We have to create the same light situation, so that it would fit in the scene where it belongs. I check the lighting on my MacBook, got a Quicktime movie of the rough cut with me all the time. We shoot very close up, to avoid matching problems with the original material. After that, we have to shoot a twitching hand in a black glove at the original place where we shot the whole “Cellblock” scenes. It´s again an extreme close up, but the floor has to be the same. Julian Eilmann, the script man, is jumping in as a double, but I´m not that satisfied with his hand´s performance, so I put on the glove myself, lay down on the dusty floor and have Jens Fischer shoot my hand. Again, I´m marveling about how much effort is put into every detail here. But that´s the way this has to be done. It´s a wrap for today.
