-08/01-08/02/2015-This week of filming found us filming at the beautiful “HILLCREST” JEPHSON ESTATE in Casenovia, NY. This place is just gorgeous and perfect to show the House of Capulet. There was an overnight stay with some cast / crew-as more were coming in to work and / or be filmed. I once again had to bring 2 of the three outfits. I’d just realized that the one outfit that takes me around 35+ minutes to get into requires me, at least currently, only be filmed in it at 5-10 minutes at a time. Gotta love it huh? 🙂 We were running so ahead of time on Saturday that we managed to shoot out two additional scenes that were to be filmed on Sunday as well as throwing in a quick scene that was made up on the spot. There were some adaptations that had to be made-such as making extra careful that my sword didn’t hit anything here.

-I, for one, was so glad that not only were there fans in the rooms, but also AC in the main staging area. Even then, I was still sweating profusely-easy to do with three layers of costuming on. Again, the cast blasted thru their dialogue-although there were a few “blooper” moments that hopefully will be seen in a blooper reel. One thing I keep doing at these shooting is coming very close to losing the ring I wear. Matt found it just before filming ended on Sunday.

-In addition, Jason Emerson from the CAZENOVIA REPUBLICAN newspaper was down here doing a story / interview for the film. I missed him the first time cause I was too busy talking to someone (Noooo-really? What a shocker-HA!), but he came back later and talked his ear off during the dinner break-to the point where I had to go do a costume change and I totally missed out on dinner! Oh well-maybe that will teach me. No? 🙂 The write up just hit online and can be seen at the link below

-And as quickly as this weekend started, it was over. Great job by all cast and crew. It’s so cool to see you guys make this thing come to life and to be a part of it. Big thanks to not only to Jason from the Cazenovia Republican for tolerating my non-stop talking :), but also to Brian and Linda Osbourne for allowing us to film at such a wonderful location.

-Next week, we film in a more typical Mad Angel Film location 🙂 Pics can be seen on my Acting page on Facebook

8/1/2015-ACTING-Pics / Recap From First Day Of Filming With ‘Romeo 3000’ Now Online

Posted on August 1, 2015 by Wayne W. Johnson

-Pics from the first day of Principle Photography for the feature film ROMEO 3000 (by MAD ANGEL FILMS in association with YELLOWHOUSE CNY and WWJ PRODUCTIONS) are now up on my acting page on Facebook. Click on the link after my recap below…

07/26/2015-Thus starts Day One of filming on ‘Romeo 3000’. The setting for this was at Overlook Mountain in Woodstock, NY. The exact location was the ruins of a hotel that, to reach, requires a 1.6 mile hike uphill on a dirt / rocky road. I had to wear two of my three costumes for this day so I had them in a suitcase that had rollers on it. The case was about 40+ lbs. Then I also had a backpack that was heavy. Director Matt Peters also had to carry camera gear so we basically were left behind quickly on the hike. In fact, due to the weight, me and Matt had to make frequent stops. The road is more rocks than dirt. By the time I reached the top, I was pretty much covered in sweat and sore. Great way to start out filming huh?

-Then we started to all get changed and film. Basically all open areas so it was like changing in a theater environment. However, we all noticed the difference between that and here with all the little gnats that were flying around. You’d think we were filming in a breeding house for them or something. And while we were all hot and sweating, it could’ve been worse cause it wasn’t too humid this day so we got lucky. Filming, overall, went pretty quickly. John Mac Schnurr, Jennifer Lefsyk and Bela Ajtai all did great and I hope I was up to par with them. We also had Jamie Morgan helping out with boom micing and Lizzie Curtis with costuming. Our hiking host Jason A. Covey was also here to make sure that all went according to his evil master plan 🙂

-Then came time to go downhill. I was told it would be easier-and it was. However, doing that meant hitting the rocks harder. On top of that, halfway thru it started to rain heavily so by the time I (and Jamie Morgan, who was carrying some of my smaller items) reached the bottom, it was like a drenched rat had emerged (see the pics for proof). Then having to be in a car for over three hours in wet clothes. On top of that, the luggage violently twisted my right wrist at least four times going downhill so I got injured via that as well. Still, IMO, better than the best of doing the nine to five grind 🙂

-We’re off to a great start filming wise (and did a lot of “character building” on top of it) and I’m looking forward the the next week of filming.
