ASL Day Nineteen Photos

By Day 19 we'd thought we'd heard every possible noise disrupt the shoot...until the paving crew pulled up a mere 50 feet from the apartment we were shooting in.

Director Devon Lyon gives Spencer Conway his specific mark for his scene with Katie O'Grady.

Katie Atikinson applies make-up to "Libby" to cut down on her sheen.

A Tyler Stephens soundman first: the baby doll noggin' mic.

The caption possibilities for this photo are endless, here are several, feel free to craft your own:

1. Director Devon Lyon learns what happens when you hire an actor with improv training.
2. Spencer Conway takes the scene in an unexpected direction.
3. Er, Spencer, we're not filming THAT movie.

Warning: Do not mix crew with props. Another "Make Your Own Caption" moment.

An anxious "Lisa" waits for "Julian" to get off the computer as she comforts "Libby".

Crew sets up the final shot of the day.

Day 18 was all about "Mitch", played by Dwight Slade. We covered all of his story lines and Dwight did a great job. So did the three women with which he shared the screen!


"Mitch" sneaks out and takes some cash on his way. "Apartment Chick", Sarah Delamarter, sleeps through the whole thing.

Dwight Slade and Sarah Delamarter. Sarah delivered a great performance in a second, emotional scene.


Director of Photography Ryan Walters plans the next shot.

"Mitch" and "Pretty Young Thing", Megan Keller.

In the late afternoon we shifted to the "Cozzzy Inn"...no that isn't a typo!

"Andy" prepares to meet "Derek" at the door.

Gavin Bristol spent his final day on the set. The crew enjoyed Gavin's time on set and he was the perfect "Andy".


Collin Crowley, "Derek", also spent his last day on set. Collin was one of the actors who had the most days on set and was great as "Derek".

"Andy" talks to the youth group.


The youth group extras...what a motley looking crew, huh?

Preparing for the final shot of the day, the never ending dolly shot...
