Day 2 - We arrive at Spiderman Alley (ne Theater Alley) and begin to take it
over.
The side of a porno shop, I believe. Soon to be filled with lights.

Setting up precariously on the scaffolding.

Unloading.

Andrew and Huy (I belive, not sure) get some sand bags.

I believe (not sure) that's Julie on the left, and Amelia Dombrowski (costume
designer) on the right.

That's Ken, getting ready for our first shot.

Our alley is lit up and ready to go.

Assistant Director Tom Connors takes charge

The alley.

Huy surveying the alley...or perhaps making sure Micah doesn't fall off the
fence.

P.A. Liz Cole is very cold.

Smokey and Joe confer

Ready for the first shot.

Getting Arol ready - spot meter check.

Ken in place.

Commotion. Fearless director is figure on far left.

Getting ready to dolly (note dolly grip Nat Bouman)

Joe checks the shot as everyone stares on. There were progressively less people
in the alley as it got later and later.

Nick on set.

Ready for actress Lenise Soren (brunette)

Action.

Beautiful camera, beautiful actress.

Lenise is getting cold while we waste time perfecting the shot

Getting colder...

Deserved break. Renee, Smokey, ... not sure about white hat, nor about green/brown
hat...
Huy steals a whole pizza, while Ken is content with just his slice

Nick talks with actress Kristina Doran about her part while she puts on the
fangs.

Same deal, less blurry.

Professor Nat.

Panaflex and Columbia Film, united!

Actress Sarah Dandridge in position (blonde, 30s)

Same deal, only colder.

Smokey, trapped in a fire escape.

Readying Kristina's take

Kristina on set

Nick conferring with Kristina

You know, I took this as a publicity shot for Coke, and the flash just ruined
it. Good thing Im standing on the carefully laid dolly tracks.

This was also supposed to be a publicity shot, but it just looks stupid.

Nick directs movie exec Jerry.

Rob setting up the camera.

Kristina in place

Kristina in warm clothes, rehearsing

Kristina with fangs

Vampire Kristina enjoys Diet Coke

Vampire Kristina also like regular Coke

Coke is good for all!

Drink Coke. Can I tell you that enough?

That's me and my brother Andrew with the Vampire Strikes Again poster. The
newspaper is currently framed and hanging on my wall.
