After two months off, production of The Third Age started back up yesterday with a shoot at Studio 2001 in midtown Manhattan. The studio belongs to Music Producer Jens Gad, one of the producer’s behind the 1990s internationally successful electronic music experiment known as “Enigma”
The day was much more visually intensive then dialgouge heavy so we were able to get some great looking stuff. As always Brian Townes is so in touch with the Character of Zinone that we didn’t have to direct him all that much. In fact, he brought a bunch of ideas to the table that Patrick and I didn’t even think of to make the performances even better.
This shoot also brought in a cameo of from NFL Writer’s Room actor Tom McCaffrey (He’s the dude who is always wearing the Dolphins Jersey). He guested with the part of a suspicious teamster and that scene only took t’ree or four takes before it was nailed by him and Townes.
Also, halfway through the shoot a bomb was dropped on us! In 6 months Brian is leaving for Brazil to begin raising his family their with his Brazillian Wife. This means we’ve been given a hard deadline to finish the Third Age or at least all scenes with Brian in them by then. Luckily, this should be more the doable and if for some reason we are unable to, we are packing up the light kit and heading for Brazil.
So all and all this was a good one. Some great visuals and performances were captured and look for this stuff to drop sometime later in 2010!

Jordan and I have worked together for a long time, on a wide variety of film projects. Growing up in high school and college, we made various short films, and post college, we’ve made a wide variety of commercial stuff, always expanding the possibilities of what’s doable within our often limited budgets and making do with less than optimal resources. On the first volume of The Third Age, you’ll notice that we’re both credited as both director and DP, but how does that work? Who does what?
