Getting the Snot Beaten Out of Me on the Set of “The Waters”
So Last weekend I got to work on one of the final scenes of a new horror movie coming out called ‘The Waters.’
.
Here is the IMDB synopsis:
.
Three computers techs are sent into New Orleans to retrieve the possible cure for a virus that has taken over the city. They soon realize they were actually brought in to cover it up. Now, they are being hunted by the colleagues they came in with and the infected civilians who control the city. With the assistance of a small military team, will they survive the night to expose the truth of The Waters?
.
As usual, it took longer than expected, but I was armed with my I-Pod and a Nintendo DSi to pass the time while waiting to get the snot beaten out of me over and over. Jack Harrison was the stunt coordinator for the scene and although we know each other’s work, we have never had the opportunity to work with each other. It this scene, the hero (Jake Moran) is to break my neck by grabbing me by my head and throwing me behind him. This really means we had to coordinate a sideways flip and his arm motions as well as fit it into the other fight choreography. We did the same scene over and over again from different angles and hand-helds to get it all right and it took a few hours from ‘go time.’ Jack was very detail attentive and a good coordinator. I hope to work with him again. I may be sore, but I didn’t get hurt and that’s always a good thing.

Look for it in 2010
