My garage in preparation for Day 11. I could only get the car from the owners in the evening, so for the next day's shoot I had to park it in the garage. The tow truck driver got lost on his way to me, so I had to drive out and meet him a few miles away.
	Another angle. The garage was FULL. We also had all of the food for the shoot, etc. packed in. I rented a flatbed trailer, also called a "process" trailer, to carry both the motorcycle and MG.
	Rick prepares the trailer. The large thing up front is the generator for the HMI light he is setting up. We kept the trailer on my Jeep, which Stan drove. I ran camera.
	Because it was still showery that morning Stan helps to cover the light. This road was on the Beaver Lake development, the same development that the lake scene was shot on.
	Shelbi poses with her rain gear by the back of Rick's rig.
	We're just about ready to get shooting. I wipe the rain off the hood as Shelbi waits to get in.
	A pose. The whole process trailer was Rick's idea. By the time we got the light and camera on at the lower angle, it really did look like they were driving on the road. The interesting thing was that we only went 15-20 miles per hour, which looked faster than it actually was.
	Just about ready to go. I balance the camera plate and check out the angle as Johnny looks on.
	The whole enchilada. We are just pulling out to go onto the main road.
	See ya!
	It really was a balancing act. I didn't know it until we were out on the road, but Rick said that what we were doing was not exactly legal. I knew it was slightly dangerous, but not illegal. We even passed what Rick thought was an undercover police car, but they didn't turn around.
	We unload the car to load up the motorcycle.
	As the guys strapped on the cycle I prepare to go out driving with the girls to get the over-the-shoulder shots. It was basically me sitting on the back of the trunk, feet dug into the chairs. A little scary. Don't take those turns too hard Shelbi.
	Being older now am amazed at how much junk food I could eat as a teen and not gain a pound. Stephanie shows us an example of that.
	Balancing the motorcycle took some doing. All of the cars got lined up on the side of the road. This wasn't a problem, at this point. But later on, when daylight was burning, we had everyone jump and do the shuffle. It made it more difficult when Shelbi couldn't find her keys.
	A meeting of the minds. On the left side of the screen is a good friend of mine, Damon Evans, who was going to play the motorhome driver that just about runs "Jason" over. It got late by the time we shot that scene he was gone. That's when I got to put my acting skills to work. We used Damon later in the adoption sequence.
	Rick and Stephanie really clicked. He even developed a nickname for her. Here they play patti-cake or some facsimile. Shelbi takes off running.
	A few seconds later.
	Being that Shelbi still had a hard time with the stickshift, to turn her around I just told her to push in on the clutch as I pushed.
	We shot some drive-by's, but never used them. Rick got some "apple boxes" out for me to stand up.
	Okay, my turn. Because of the bad battery problem, we had to jump the cycle all the time. Stan brings his rig up to help out.
	Biker chicks! Look out!
	We are setup for the heart wrenching scene. Jacob looks over his lines before we start shooting.
	Rick checks out his handiwork. We "flew" the 12x12 silk above the vehicles to tone it down. There was a slight breeze, so we had people stand on the poles while shooting.
	This was a real cool angle I came across almost by accident. The conversation is between "Jason" and "Kate" but "Nicole" is stuck right between them, very uncomfortable. I loved the reactions Shelbi was giving me. I thought she was expressing that the audience would be feeling.
	A cool angle. We had this electrical pole to contend with in the background. I tried very hard not to get it into any shots.
	Stan, working hard.
	Rick repositions the MG for us. He was also helping to get sound effects of the car taking off and coming in. To the right is Chris, who showed up on the set, though he wasn't required for any scenes that day.
	The same with the motorcycle. He was our resident "stunt" driver. There was one scene where he takes off from the ridge wearing Jacob's clothes. It worked out well.
	The girls go up the road to the end to turn around. We shot a quick scene of the girls and "Jason" passing each other, but it never really worked.
	Here we shoot the pass-by shot.
	Daylight was burning. To the far left is Shelbi in her car. She finally found her keys and was the last to move out of the camera frame. This is the only scene where Rick ran camera since I became the motorhome driver. Jacob sits alone on the motorcycle. It was kind of a tense moment since we were running out of light and had a potentially dangerous shot to get.
	Rick prepares himself for me to come around the corner as Jacob stands in the road. Stephanie looks on. The script originally called for an 18 wheeler, but I never found anyone I could get to do it, so Stephanie volunteered her grandparents motorhome.
	Chris poses with the microphone.
	Even though this was just outside the city limits of Oregon City the insects and creatures seemed bigger. Danny Toman caught this spider with my digital camera. Interestingly enough this same type of spider was crawling on my garage wall two days before when I shot with Chris and Michael for the driving scenes. I've never seen one since.
	The infamous motorhome. Stan places the microphone to get my dialogue, "Stupid punk kid!"
	The can throw. I love this shot. We all look so intense. Actually we had to get the can to roll in a certain way and land in the right spot, though it does look like we're playing CRAPS. "I need a 7!!"
