Another day atop Mt. Hamilton at the Siwajek Ranch turned out eventful when we went back up to shoot the last part of the principal photography. It began with our explosions once again not working... in order to collapse the tunnel, we needed an explosion that would be able to actually take a piece out of the hillside, however the mixture of explosives we had was apparently missing one key ingredient. Since we were too far away from any civilization to be able to pick anything up, we decided to stick to the first plan and just put a ton of gasoline on top of gunpowder, which ended up making quite a nice explosion. All the shots turned out perfectly, the only snafu of the day being when the tape from the blast shield camera, which had recorded a close up shot of the explosion as well as a shot from inside the tunnel of it collapsing, was taped over by accident. Other than that, we had a great shoot day, and at the end of it we celebrated 2nd Assistant Director, Christianna Gunn's birthday with a cake and pizza back at the house on location.
Here are a few teaser stills from the shoot:
