How I Came To Be Involved With Chartarum

I was wasting time on Facebook I think, and noticed an invite to the set from John. My husband was working and it was one of those weekends I had no set plans, so I emailed John and asked if he would happen to need help. I remember a profound affirmative, I would definitely be used, and after a discussion about the safety of the firearms on set, I decided to drive up.

I loaded up the van and came up to Luther, ready for anything, and it was just incredibly exciting to be involved in making a movie. I loved the crane, the bullhorn and the smoke machine. It was interesting to see how many layers of makeup it actually takes to get that effect. And syrup for blood?? Who knew?

The anticipation of seeing the final result gets worse every time I watch the trailer. I cannot contain my laughter, even when watching the scary moments, because of knowing how it was done. I am ready to see that black mold baby!

[Note from webgoddess (Mel): from time to time, some of the folks involved with Chartarum will be guest-blogging. Jennifer Worth is an old friend who packed up and spent the long Labor Day weekend with us during the first shoot in September, 2009. Jennifer acted as production assistant during that shoot, running the fog machine, carrying and lifting and doing whatever needed doing. The next month, she came to help out on a shoot in Defiance, OH and was convinced to get into makeup and be an extra, which is another story altogether!]
