On Location at Sandy Hook N.J.

Getting ready for our first and only location shoot was like packing for a very strange camping trip. Boxes were marked "Doll-Skin" "Poop" "Hunter's Gear" and such. Not your regular beach fare...
The logistics nearly blew a fuse in my brain. I know how to get 2 kids safely to the beach and back, but 8 very unique individuals was a little out of my league.
Having said this, getting away from the green screen for awhile was exhilarating.
All put up graciously with the diminished physical conditions, with the carrying of heavy gear over half a mile of muscle-wrecking sand and eating sandy food for two days.

Catriona didn't hold back and delivered a wildly idiosyncratic "Beach Lil'".

Cat and James take a break from the physically demanding work, to pose for a double portrait.

Lee looking awful handsome and natural in his "wilderness" setting.
You'd never guess that he was rather uncomfortable walking barefoot on ant's nests and crawling, thorny vines.

Last few stitches sealing James in the "doll-skin"...

James, completely stitched in.
