Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Fourteen

Today we were on location once again. Actually there were two locations but I did not go to the second location. But man oh man the stuff they shoot today was some of the funniest stuff I had seen all season. I did manage to get a few more interviews, so that was good. But today is the "last" day of shooting at least for a few weeks... then we will all get back together once again for our "final" shoot day.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Thirteen

Today was a fun day on the set of the Guild season four. I didn't get many interviews done as I wanted but I did get some key ones done so it felt like a productive day for me. It was a very long day on set and we also wrapped out of the location, which means we removed everything and this always takes longer then a "regular" day. We also got our "cast & crew" t-shirts... of course I would love to show them to you but I can't as the image on the front plays a part in season four... so for now they have to stay under wrap.

Only a few more days left for this season and though I will be sad that it will be over I'll be happy as well as I have a ton of audio that I have to sift through and organize for the KOTG "Special Season Four" podcasts.

Editing KOTG Podcast

Today since I wasn't on set of The Guild I was able to work on the latest Knights of the Guild podcast #16 part 2. I want to post it in less then a week so I figured it would be a good idea to actually start editing it. I had done the bulk of editing a few weeks ago but still had to assemble the pieces and then add sfx. I manage to get it all done fairly quick and now I'm just converting the files and then it will be ready for upload.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Twelve

Today I was asked not to come to set as they are shooting in very confined spaces and using a skeleton crew. This is the second time that I was not allowed on set and I have to say that I'm bummed as I always enjoy being on set and as the official podcaster it's fun to watch all the scenes so I can talk about them on the podcast... but with that said I understand production and the craziness that happens with a bunch of people on set and unfortunately I'm probably one of the more expendable crew members. So no Guild for me today but this does free up a day to do podcast stuff.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Eleven

Back on the Guild set for Day 11 of a 15 day shoot. I have to say this was one of the funnest days so far. The scene they were shooting is one of the funniest and coolest scenes of the season. I got a bunch of cast and crew interviews done, it was a very productive day.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Ten

Once again they were using a skeleton crew as the location was very small so I opted not to go down until the end so around 3:30 I got a call from Brian (EPK) who informed me that they were almost done shooting and if I wanted to interview Sean (Director) I would need to get down there soon. So I took a quick shower, packed up my equipment headed to set. Got there around 4:30, they were still filming so I hung out with Kim and Greg for a bit until they were done. I then helped to wrap the location and finally got to sit down with Sean and talk about the past four days of shooting. We now have two days off and start our final days of Season Four shoot of The Guild.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Nine

Well today I was asked not to go to set as it's a smaller set and space is limited. I was bummed as I enjoy being on set but understand as Brian the EPK guy is going to set today and I'll be going to set tomorrow while he takes the day off. Brian plans on interviewing a cast member and I really wanted to be there for that so Kim gave me the okay to join him when he does this. So until I get that call I am at home working on organizing all my audio bites from the past eight days of shooting. So much good stuff.. have to listen to them and place them in the appropriate episode folders. This will make it easier when I build the "companion" podcast for the new episodes of The Guild.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Eight

On location again today but this time with no extras and man is it quiet on set today. Only a few cast members, but the same large crew but the feeling is much more subdued. Just me today on set as Jenni had to work. I got a few good interviews and watched some fun scenes being shot. We had a really good lunch today (not that we normally don't) but today's was particular good. After the shoot we wrapped from that location and man it was exhausting. On to another location tomorrow.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Seven

Another day on location with a ton of extras. Working with the extras is always fun as all are fans of the show, most are not actors just people who want to be part of The Guild experience. The entire cast was on set today which is always fun when you can get the core six cast members together. Besides the fact that Jenni and I got several great interviews we were both extras in a fun scene along with Marshall (Jeff Lewis' wife). We had tons of fun between takes. Not sure how much you'll see of us, but it was still fun to take part as it's a tradition for me as I have been in episodes from Season 2 & 3 and now hopefully 4.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Six

Back on set of The Guild season 4. Joining me today for the podcast recording is my co-host Jenni, which makes it extra fun. It's a big day on set, can't say why or where we are but there are a bunch of extras and several cast members. We got a lot of interviews with Extras and some cool casts interview. The crew had a 5am call time but luckily as I am a podcaster I can make up my owe time to come in but since I didn't want to miss much I got in around 8am and we were here until 6pm. Tomorrow is going to be another fun day.. looking forward to it.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Five

Once again we are shooting at the same place we shot yesterday in the Valley so my drive wasn't so bad. I ran a few errands before heading to set. It was a pretty quite day for me on set. Got one interview done but I did manage to watch a few of the scenes being shot and that's always fun. All in all not a very productive day for me. :(

Next up we get two days off and then we're back on Saturday. Still need to edit Knights of the Guild podcast #16 part 1 before it's released on the 15th. And I hope to organize some of this Season Four interview footage.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Four

Today we are shooting in the valley so it was a much quicker drive to get to set. Took some pixs and did a few interviews but didn't feel like a very productive day for season 4 stuff. Wasn't able to watch the actually shooting which kind of bummed me out.

There was a reveal today that was AWESOME, of course I can't say anything but it was the highlight for the day. But this was a close second.. the wonderful Kim Evey got the "Shaved Ice" truck to come to the location and everything got some delicious shaved ice.. I had the rockin' rainbow, which was cherry, blueberry and pineapple shaved ice over vanilla ice cream.. it was pretty AWESOME too.

Another fun thing that happened today was when Jenni joined me to record a new Microcast about the awesome april fools joke The Guild played called Lil' Guildies. We actually got all the creators, Kim Evey, Greg Aronowitz and Paul & Storm to join us. It was a fun interview and I hope to get it up later tonight after I edit it up a bit.

Another cool thing about today's location is that it's the same place where they filmed Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show and look who I found sitting next to me.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Three

Another day on the set of The Guild. Since it was Monday I wasn't sure how long it was going to take me to get to the Hollywood area so I planned to leave at 9am and get into LA around 10:30ish. Luckily I didn't hit much traffic and arrived when I had planned.

It was a very productive day, I got some good sound bites and real informative interviews. As I left for the evening around 8pm I got in my Jeep and started it up. Soon as I started my "gas" light came on and I looked at my gas gauge and it was empty. I knew immediately that someone has siphoned my gas. I knew I wasn't far from a gas station so I started to make my way there when, just at the bottom of the hill, my jeep completely died. I pushed the jeep to the side of the road and walked to remaining two blocks to get gas, once I had put the small amount in my jeep I drove back to the gas station and did a fill up.

This has happened to be before as my jeep has an open gas compartment and the gas cap has no lock. After that fun I drove home with no more issue.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Two

Today my call time (when they expected me on set) was a little later in the day, so I decided to go over to my buddy Greg Aronowitz's house to see what cool things he is working on. I spent about two hours over at his place catching up and watching him create some very cool pieces, that I can't talk about. You know sometimes it sucks having very talented friends working on top secret projects that I can't talk about.

Anyways after my visit with Greg I headed over to The Guild set. Once again I can't say anything but I did get another very cool interview as well as interviews with some of the awesome crew.

Day two was just as much fun as day one.. can't wait for day three.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day One

Back on March 17th, 2010 I had a meeting/lunch with Kim Evey who is the co-producer of The Guild webseries. I have worked/volunteered on The Guild the past two seasons, seasons 2 and 3. My primary duties were filming behind the scenes footage and at a later date cutting the footage and creating some DVD extras. I also took still photos and helped out where ever I could.

I got bad and then good news.. Bad news: they have not asked me back to film the behind the scenes material for the DVD. Good news: They want to expand Knights of the Guild podcast to include live set interviews. Besides it's regular podcasts, Knights of the Guild will also release companion piece to the webseries. When they release new episodes we will release a coinciding podcast for that episode. So you watch the episode and then listen to the podcast for some behind the scenes action of that episode.

I'm sad that I won't be doing BTS anymore but excited to take Knights of the Guild to a whole new level.

First day was a lot of fun, of course I can't say much about it other then I got some good BTS interviews and I can't wait to get started on these special G4 (Guild Season 4) episodes.

1st Day of Guild Shoot

Well I'm up at 5:30am for the first day of "The Guild" shoot. My call time isn't until 8:30am but I couldn't sleep (was too excited). Will leave my house around 7 since I live pretty far out from Hollywood and Felicia's house where we are shooting today.

I'm extremely excited to get back to the set of The Guild. Knights of the Guild podcast is going to have a big presence this season and we plan on bringing you some very cool behind the scenes podcasts.

I'll try and blog as much as I can so check back often.

Recording Ep. 16

Today Jenni came over around 3 and we recorded our next episode of Knights of the Guild Podcast Episode 16 pt. 1 & 2. We didn't video tape this recording as we have done with the past five or so podcasts. We wanted to keep some of this info a secret until it airs on May 15th. It's so strange as we recorded 40 or so podcast without an audience but you kind of get use to it not having them this time around kind of felt like something was missing. But then again I felt this podcast flew by as we weren't interacting with the folks online and just getting the podcast done.

We did have one scare as we were half way through recording part 1 and Audacity (the program I use to record the podcasts) suddenly went funky and became unresponsive. I did everything I could to try and save our work that we had done the past hour. Suddenly everything crashed. Figured we were screwed so I started everything back up and when I started Audacity a window popped up and said "do you want to recovery previous work".. relief washed over me as I clicked YES.. we manage to save the majority of it and lost the last ten minutes of our recording.

Now all I have to do is edit them, add the SFX, level them, convert them and then upload them.
