The Homeowner!

 Welcome back bloggers! In today's post, I will be talking about one our biggest outside help to the filming of "Super"-Hero: Our friend Sebastian!

Sebastian's On-Screen Work

Sebastian volunteered his free time to play in our film as the Homeowner. In doing this, he saved us a lot of time and trouble in looking for supporting actors and allowed us to keep our current cast of robbers unchanged. Sebastian's acting skills, although not the best, gave us ideas for how we could shake things up during our 3rd and 4th days of filming (which will be discussed very soon!). In particular, Sebastian was EXCELLENT for one of our newer ideas, which involved the Homeowner being asleep when the robbers arrived. Without Sebastian's inclusion in the film, our plans with the Homeowner may have been much smaller than they turned out to be, possibly with us just not including the character in our film at all! For simply being a volunteer, Sebastian gave it his all on-screen, and made the Homeowner a memorable piece of our film. However, his contributions to the film didn't stop here.

Sebastian's Off-Screen Work

Behind the scenes, Sebastian's contributions were probably greater than they were during acting. He was constantly coming up with new ideas, some of which we actually tried and a few of which we implemented! From different camera angles and movements to straight up changing the plot of the film itself, Sebastian was an innovative force that we desperately needed during the beginning. One of the biggest changes we made with Sebastian's help was figuring out how to film a new scene that would replace the robbery. Without his help in laying the groundworks for that scene (which we will discuss later!), we would have been stuck in a major roadblock for a long time. Additionally, Sebastian was a big source of morale boost when we were becoming exhausted, particularly during the 3rd and 4th days of filming. Specifically, Sebastian was able to motivate our actor for Power-Man, Yulian, after he began becoming exhausted after nearly 5 straight hours of filming. It's because of Sebastian's contribution in keeping up team morale that we were able to COMPLETELY finish filming on Day 4!
