Brothers In Grime

Joy! I'm just back after a short but VERY rewarding filming with Brother Henrik! This is actually the first time we've ever worked together, but not the last! He did extremely well, and honour the production with a really really creepy Apparition. Dunnu where to put him yet, but that's a later problem.
I, and, occasionally my team, have been to several really nasty locations during this one and a half year this movie has been active, but this place took the cake. Not only that it was in danger of crumpling and collapsing with us in it - it was a very small long-since abandoned shed, probably once a summer house I guess - or that the floor was about to give under our feet. Because it did anyway. Every singe step we took. Good thing it was only one floor and no cellar. What made this even more unpleasant was that the place was stuffed with age-old rusty and decaying crap and signs of past visitations.
We kept the few scenes we shot outside and in the only safe place in the entire house. There were no way in hell we'd walk around there without armored shoes and combat gear. Or with. What we did get was totally awesome though!

Beauty in Grime

Yebo!
Today will be a hallelujah-moment for me! For months, I have prepared my kitchen, especially the stove, for a few seconds of film in the final movie. It looks seriously nasty, but today will be the big day.
I've put my new gear on some serious tests - first I willfully violated the "keep away"-sign on the roadworks outside my window (they can kiss my hairy ass, they woke me up at 7am today with a fucking oversized caterpillar feet machine-mounted rivet-gun at full blast) (may they all burn in hell), then two days ago a respectful visit at some kind of...I have no clue what it once was, either an abandoned and heavily decayed warehouse or some kind of factory perhaps, and now an ancient (abandoned) factory this night. Also heavily decayed. And the new equipment worked wonders!
I've let every single pot I ever used during this time overflow while cooking, meaning I've got a good crust on the surface, but it will not truly take the cake 'till I put the final touch on it - a slimy mixture including the result of lots of chicken-wings deep-fried in what once was corn-oil. I now have twice as much oil as I had when I first started, and it's mixed with several other secret ingredients to get that just right look which will look so good smeared all over my poor stove!
This will be painful to clean up tonight....
The things one does for art :-)
