A Day in the life of a Long Coat

*Sorry folks!  I’ve had to take down the photos due to a request by the producers.  I hope to be able to repost them after the miniseries has been aired on the Sci Fi Channel.

Was going to post the pictures up last night when I got home from the set of “Tin Man“, but I was just way too tired to post anything coherent so I opted to wait until today. The show is turning out to be pretty fun to work on, the cast is amazing and the crew are a good bunch. Also lucky to be working with a good group of guys. We’re split into two major sub-groups, Long Coats and White Coats, the White Coats are basically walking latex condoms ;)

Surprised that this show has a seemingly large budget for a 6 hour mini-series on the Sci Fi channel. The costumes and make-up are very elaborate and finished with painstaking detail.

As mentioned before, Tin Man is a re-imagined version of The Wizard of Oz, much darker and much more twisted . . . should be great!

For all of you that think that the film industry is all glamour, here’s some pics of us just doing what we usually do . . . sit around a lot and wait for lunch :)

That rifle better shoot lasers or something because nothing that looks like taht should be shooting bullets.

It’s actually a modified gas-powered launcher. Most of the weapons we use are real, with useless little bits added on to make it look cooler. Kinda like what Asian kids do to their Civics ;)

For the most part it is easy, but we are pretty much “at the ready” all the time and work pretty hard when in front of the camera. The 12+ hours a day running around in full costume with big ass lights shining on you takes it’s own toll.

I wouldn’t have eaten so much though. One would think it would take a while to get out of that dress if you had to go to the bathroom…
