Promotional begins shooting

Saturday August 20 2011

Today a crew of 28 went into the San Bernadino mountains to shoot for two days to create an exciting promo for "Filmblips' feature presentation of 'FIVE".

After extensively searching for actors and gathering an experienced crew, the shooting of the promo for "Five" may have hit a snag that no one expected. In the last two days of preparation for the weekend shoot, hotels were booked, the crew was assembled, insurance was paid, equipment (lighting, cameras, etc.) rentals were lined up and the actors were set to go.

But that's when a representative from the Forestry Division contacted our Line Producer, Evan, to inform him that the lake where production was set to take place just so happens to be the favorite nesting site of a rare bird on the endangered species list.

The Forestry's expert spotted the birds nesting and has banned the production from using lights that would illuminate the forest at night. With only two days to change plans, the decision was made to push the production to possibly the weekend of August 12th, location dependent. Adrian said, “It gives us a little extra time to find the lost location and leave the now mating chicks in peace.”

Director Nigel Sarrag is taking it all in stride, adding, "EVERYONE has worked tirelessly and with such commitment to get us what we needed to shoot this and having to push it affects so many amazing people. There was simply nothing we could do anticipate or deal with this. Production is full or hurdles and is often a roller-coaster ride of draining events before you cross the finish line. We will get there! Ironically, this production reflects the very concept of FIVE and the need to adapt and overcome insurmountable hurdles.

Personally I am flabbergasted, but it will work out. Semper Fi!"
