 Oh, it is a hot one, but we've got a celebration. I'm reviewing one of the movies that I worked on Bitter kind of like the movie That's a hot mug guys I've worked in the film industry for about four years now But I've actually never funny enough watched anything that I've worked on I've worked on cop and a half worked on TV shows Like you me her I've worked on several hallmark garbage movies I've worked on some big shows too like man high castle away, which is coming on Netflix soon but the thing that I really enjoy doing in this industry aside from doing FX is Location scouting for those of you who don't know what that is Essentially, you're the guy who is tasked with trying to find the place that the directors and the producers want to shoot their movie They'll give you a description of what they're looking for whether it's a business a house a building Whichever and then they'll kind of give you an area of where they want to shoot for bigger productions They kind of have the willy-nilly to shoot wherever but with Vancouver BC film especially smaller projects like this They have you look for something in a particular area according to budget and scheduling conflictions So I got to scout for sniper assassin's end, which was originally called Lady Death Originally wasn't even going to be a sniper movie this long running line of Tom Bairinger movies This film follows Tom Bairinger's son as he's being falsely accused of a murder of a big high official While there is this woman this Yakuza sniper who is taking out targets according with a big business big Pharmaceutical blah blah blah Tom Bairinger gets kind of wrapped in it to try and help out his son. I'm not gonna beat around the bush here It's not that good. It's a VOD was it fun to find the stuff for oh you bet you was it even fun or seeing the things that I found Oh hell yes considering some of the things that I found were not originally intended to be Used the in the way they were for instance the beginning of the film has Lady Death setting up a sniper shot in a hotel room They had me looking for a hotel that was within the vicinity of the Vancouver art gallery that had Floor to ceiling high windows now there was one building, but it cost $30,000 to shoot in there a day and obviously that wasn't within the budget So I went and found the next best option and so on and so forth I found them different areas of the film quarries houses businesses and Honestly, that was so fun to see these things that I found I'm literally two big portions of the film take place in a forest and in this really nice mansion by the water Which I didn't have any part of that was not me for finding that but a lot of other places I found for instance the road where they have the the trap set up and they have to shoot out That was on a road that I knew of and found in Abbotsford There's this big fancy meeting in this restaurant called the chameleon in Maple Ridge the house that they were Supposed to kick the door down But instead they did fucking blow it in half that I found in Fort Langley the quarry I secured while I didn't get to secure the big locations like the forest the main house and the safe house I still had a great time finding these things because you get to meet different and interesting people you get to learn about their homes you get to learn about the businesses and Sometimes you get to eat at them got to eat at Rocco's for free that was in mission That was when they were trying to have me find a gas station. I went as far as Agassi, which for those of you don't know it was about 87 kilometers away from the office, so that's like about 40 miles So it's a bit of a drive when you're trying to make everything Titan concise I was kind of surprised that they were even having me go further than Abbotsford the film is okay It's it's a VOD. It's not the greatest the sound is oddly lacking And I know the guys who worked on the film are good at their job So I don't know if it was post-work the post-work is a little weird in this film music's kind of non-existent Yeah, it wasn't that hot. It's not as hot as it is right now like my god I'm sweating doing this review right now. It is so fucking warm right now But if you guys want to check out a movie that I worked on I did also do special effects for this film I did some atmosphere work for them for instance when this helicopter lands at the safe house There was no helicopter landing was actually me and a bunch of the other special effects guys operating a bunch of hessies Which makes the smoke in the atmosphere as well as these giant wind turbines hurricane wind turbines I can push wind at like 200 kilometers an hour So that was really really fun Something else I actually got to do on the day that I was there for the special effects stuff It's I actually got to have a quite a long conversation with Tom Bairinger Admittedly I got a photo with him earlier. It was just kind of like I'm very nervous like oh hey Mr. Bairinger can I get a photo with you loved you in platoon, but then later on in the day I saw him standing by himself and I just went up to him and I said I don't know if you get talked to about this much But I really loved you in Gettysburg and that totally changed the day around actually because he's a very big Civil War Enthusiast and I have actually found over the years a very big fascination with the Civil War especially with Ken Burns's Series, which we talked about that was something really cool to connect with about just the love of history about this Crucial moment in American history and it was really really fun to talk about with that with him and just kind of talk about his Experience in the film like he talked about the reenactors He talked about just the scale of the film. It was really really cool And unfortunately I got cold in a way and he kind of looked a little bit It was like oh that was a good conversation And I'm sorry that I had to leave because we never got to talk again And that that's a that's a missed opportunity But I'm still happy that I took that chance to do that So you guys want to check it out the film is called snipers assassins and it was fun to scout for this I have since scouted for a few projects since then all of them being hallmarks But you know what it's still fun to do It's a really great experience is definitely the most fun I've had in the film industry Aside from getting to do a blizzard on a car for a snow show That was fun. That's a story. I guess maybe I'll tell another day. Anyways guys.
