The old adage in the industry is "never let a film crew into your house". I've adhered pretty closely to this since I remodeled a few years ago but this one seemed like a goodie: a shoot for a DVD retrospective that I was already on as DP. I will freely admit that knowing (based on the script) that we would end up shooting the adorable Kristen Bell on my bed may have swayed my decision to revoke the rule above.

not pictured but also onboard that day: Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman, Joe Lo Truglio, Jennifer Westfeldt, Ken Marino, Keri Kenney and many others...

Good times.

I can just see you lying there tonight smelling the pillow...

Geez, what a *hard, difficult, toiling* life you lead, Chas!

You should frame those and hang 'em in the front hall.

It was honestly one of the more intense days I've had of late...a whirlwind shooting schedule and the added stress of having that much activity in my house (20 cast members coming and going and about as many crew). Probably the only time I stopped moving was to jump on the bed for those pictures!

oh yeah! its the small things that make it all worthwhile

Wow, totally jealous. I think I'd open up my house for that too. Question, is that you're teddy bear or Kristen Bell's?

you lucky dog :p
