Funny story about Scene 2 of Where's Waldo - it's difficult to film at night. It's fairly dark (which is what we were going for) but it is difficult to simulate moonlight when there is no moon.
So we didn't try. As you'll see, when Austin (the director) goes to check on Chris, he leaves his headlights on. This is so that he can see exactly what is going on, and so that we could have some light to film by.
You may notice that it gets dimmer throughout the film... this is because Austin's car battery was slowly dying throughout the shoot. When we wrapped up the scene, we couldn't get his car to start. Note to all aspiring director/actor types: CAR BATTERIES DIE.
And, here is Where's Waldo, Scene 2.

Who is Chris Cage?
We all grew up with "Where's Waldo," and partaking in the live-action parody film has been a blast. I play the lead in the film, as movie star Chris Cage.
Chris is a hotshot movie star, making up for his lack of true acting skills with sheer charm and muscle. He's also a bit of an airhead, but a good-hearted airhead. He is playing the lead in "Where's Waldo" (the film within the film) as the character Mark Knight. So my challenge here was that I was playing several roles - Chris Cage, Chris Cage acting as Mark Knight, and (you'll soon see) Chris Cage actually being Mark Knight. It was a confusing spectrum - I hope you can recognize the differences in characters (I tried to make them obvious through Chris's level of acting talent.)
Without further ado, we at Remember Tommy Productions and Blue Ark Productions present: Part 1 of "Where's Waldo"

Where's Waldo?
It's a been a while since my last post.
Wait Until Dark closed on Saturday (the 23rd). What a talented cast - I learned so much working on that show, and gained invaluable experience. But the best part was the friends I made.
Monday, the 25th marks the release of the first part of "Where's Waldo?" This is the movie project I have been working on for the entire summer, come to fruition. My character, Chris Cage, is a self-important movie star, who's not the brightest and exhibits certain traits of bipolarity. It certainly was an extremely fun movie to work on.
Here's the trailer:
