Wrath of the Crows set report: Day 13...

Day 13, August 10th

We started with close-ups of scenes 1, 10 and 11. Filming started very early, before the sun went down. Our actors did a terrific job.

Then it was time for the fight scene between Tiffany Shepis and Debbie Rochon. The scene is very big, with many camera angles and some Make-up FX.

The two actresses were amazing, and we had a lot of fun watching them fight.

Wrath of the Crows set report: Day 12...

Day 12, August 9th

Crazy schedule tonight. We had several FX scenes, including scene 39, when Larry kills Hugo with a machete and scene 43, when Tiffany Shepis extracts the heart of a prisoner. A lot of stuff to do; we finished very late, around 7:00 am.

Roberto D'Onofrio is filming some making-of footage that looks very fun!!

I'm looking at the footage right now; I must say it looks amazing!

Wrath of the Crows set report: Day 11...

Day 11, August 8th

We started early with the angle shots for scene 37 that we had to recoup. Everything went fine so we finished fast. Then it was time for two very interesting dialogue scenes. I used traveling shots for both of the masters of scene, and then I did close-ups and medium shots to cover all the actors and dialogues. A very good day of work.

The only bad thing is that my friend and collaborator on set Edoardo, was forced to leave the set due to family problems. I hope he'll be back soon.

Wrath of the Crows set report: Day 10...

Day 10, August 7th

We only shot scene 37 today, but it's a huge scene with a lot of action and Special FX. Its Liza’s execution scene, killed by a gun shot from the terrible Officer. We weren't able to finish the entire scene because dawn arrived. We only have a couple of angles to recoup the next day.

My friend (journalist, reporter and photographer) Roberto D'Onofrio arrived on set today. It's a great joy for me, because I have a lot of respect for him, and he's someone I love like a brother. He will be staying on set for ten days or so. He's also a very good friend to Tiffany Shepis and Debby Rochon, so there's very good alchemy on the set now.

Wrath of the Crows set report: Day 9...

Day 9, August 6th

Tonight was the night of some very good Special FX scenes. Waiting for Tiffany Shepis’ Make-up FX, we started working on a beautiful dialogue scene between actors Brian Fortune and Domi Arcangeli. The scene was great. It was fun to see Brian eating the prison slop during the scene. Brian is so natural when he acts, a true talent.

Then we shot the FX scene with Tiffany. The make-up looks something like an undead witch, and it worked out very well. Tiffany’s acting skills helped a lot too. She looked scary and sexy at the same time!

Wrath of the Crows set report: Day 8...

Day 8, August 5th

Tonight we started with some crane shots, showing the entire prison in an birds-eye point of view, while the prisoners are sleeping. The shots are spectacular.

Then we started with scene 21. It's a physical confrontation between Debbie Rochon and Tiffany Shepis. In the end Debbie throws a knife at Tiffany, and the Special FX looked very nice. I love to see Tiffany Shepis covered in fake blood, she looks amazing. The shot with Tiffany is very good, and intense. She is a great actress.

Wrath of the Crows set report: Day 7...

Day 7, August 4th

We shot three scenes tonight, 17, 18 and 19. We started with scene 19, and used a crane for some amazing camerawork. We needed time to set-up, but once we finished, we started filming with Debbie Rochon and the scene turn out beautiful.

Scene 17 was another fight scene between the dog-soldier (Giuseppe Gobbato) and Liza (Tara Cardinal). I shot this scene using only the hand-held camera, and it worked out very well. With respect to my previous movies, I'm using more hand-held camerawork in this movie, because I want to convey tension to the audience and help them to better feel the emotions of the characters.

Scene 18 was a dialogue scene. There's a very intense confrontation between Tiffany Shepis and Debbie Rochon, both are great actresses, and the scene was amazing. We had a fun moment when Debbie spit blood on Tiffany’s face, and we had a lot of laughs shooting the prisoner, Larry (Domiziano Arcangeli), who started the scene by peeing in a bucket in his cell. We finished at 6:00 am, but we finished everything on the program, so I'm very happy!

Wrath of the Crows set report: Day 6...

Day 6, August 3rd

Shooting with the raven wasn't easy. We started with some easy shots on the river and everything went smoothly. We then went to the jail set and had rehearsals with it and the crow was very quite and behaved like a true actor. Unfortunately, when all the actors were on their cell phones, the bird became nervous and started flying everywhere except where it was supposed to. We were unable to get the shot, so we stopped and started filming another scene without the crow.

The next scene was an action sequence between the characters Liza and the officer. The scene was very complex. Almost the entire cast was on set, all the prisoners and all of the soldiers. Everything went very well, so at the end, we started with the crow again. The bird calmed down, and we were able to shot some, but I need more, so I think I will have to call the trainers [of the crow] again before the end of the shoot.

We were unable to shot scene 19, so we will have to pick it up tomorrow.
