DolphThe second leg of the production trip brought us to what I can confidently say is Rankin’s exact opposite…the sweltering desert of Las Cruces, New Mexico. This town played host to the set of Dolph Lundgren’s newest movie, which he was both directing and starring in. As mentioned before, Dolph possesses the traits and characteristics that make him a natural fit for the responsibility of directing a feature film.
One thing I learned, and this may not be surprising to anyone who has operated cameras before, is that our gear holds up far better in cold temperatures than it does in the heat. I never would have guessed that our cameras needed as much shade as a spoiled producer.
This trip was special for a couple reasons. Not only was it the first time we have had the chance to be behind the scenes with Dolph on one of his movies, but this was also the first time we have gotten the chance to bring a member of the Creative Hustler Key community along to be a producer for a day.
Behind the Scenes
ScoreG Filmmaking Experience Giveaway #1 - Day with DolphOur lucky winner of the first ScoreG Filmmaking Experience Giveaway was Michael from San Diego. Michael was given the opportunity to join us as an Associate Producer on set for a Day with Dolph in Las Cruces, New Mexico; all expenses paid.
We had such a great time with Michael talking about Dolph, filmmaking in general, and getting to share this special day with him. While I can’t give away anything from the plot of Dolph’s movie, let’s just say we got a chance to see some prominent actors get shot to high hell!
Michael was an absolute pleasure to have with us on set. He was polite, curious, helpful, and flexible when things did not go according to plan – a real team player. The American even humoured us while we found a sports bar to watch the Oilers knock the Flames out of the playoffs. Thanks Michael!
