While camping...

Dragon of Fire

Dragon's rage
So, during the weekend I went camping on Lake Michigan, which is kind of normal not so exciting sort of thing, but something else happened.

I drove to a a supposedly good fishing spot on the channel in Duck Lake, and in the parking spot, there were some trucks set up with generators and a bunch of other equipment set up. On the Lake Michigan side (For those who don't know, the channel between Duck Lake and Lake Michigan is really short, I would estimate about 100 ft.) there was a camera and a few lights set up, so I assumed that there was a group taking their pictures for some reason, but it almost looked like a wedding. I looked back to where the cars were and I saw a police pick up truck that said "Dead River County" on it, but some parts around the lettering were covered up with green tape. So we went fishing for a few hours, and when we came back and everything was normal, and everything was put away.

We came back a few hours later to go fishing again, and the stuff was set up again, except this time there was a tent. We wanted to know what was going on, so we asked someone who was obviously part of the event. He said they were filming a horror movie, which just blew me away. So I asked the name, and he said it was Offspring. I thought it was really cool that they were filming a movie so close to where I was at the time.
 
man

you should've tried to sneak onto the set, and pray they don't notice. If it's a smaller budget movie they might not, and that would be so epic win.

at least you got to see it, which is awesome.
 
Whee~ Congrats :D It's wonderful that something like that was going on so close to you! Hope it's a good movie!

I actualy thought about that. We were going to ask if we could be extras, but we had to leave because it was getting dark.

that's so cool!!!-!!! I'm gonna go fishing sometime soon too... wish me luck I guess... But I personally hate horrorrs, too scary. And I just don't like scary. But still... enough rant...

oh and vyaruana (that really rolls of the toungue /sarcastic]), Being in a movie is relatively suckish lots of the time, A, the first time I was in a movie(hired as background, of course) the movie took 3.5 yrs. to come out and I wasn't in it! they edited me out, they can do that, but at least they told me I was edited out. the 2nd time it took 3 years, and when I finally payed a fiver to watch it, I wasn't there either! (granted I got payed minimum wage both times $8/hr. at the time... now 10$/hr.. and I got 72$ time 1 and like over 100$ the 2nd time, you do the math) but still, they edit out tons of stuff
n'kay NOW enough rant! /rant]

but still, that's cool regardless, both movies I saw were artificial sets, no natural ones, which is cooler. Hopes to you randomly floating past the camera and the editor magically missing it!:grin:

It's sweet that you got to be payed to be in a movie, even though they edited so much stuff out you were not in the first one. *watches movie and seesrandom people with fishing poles walk by*
