The Highest Day in Spring

We arrived pretty early. After what seemed like forever with the set and makeup, the first shot was the old vineyard. Actually, I think Alex, the director got the graveyard first. That was like this green sward with the black lamps of the undead. It opens the video. I think it shows the oldness, if that is a word, of it all. The reaching back into history.

So, the vineyard. Caitlyn was doing running shots and they were getting the bling on her bitchin' boots. I was told to just sit there. Everything was so green and buzzing and bright, hot and verdant. All of a sudden, this bright green frog jumps up on my chest and like, stares at me. Let's just say that I was "Ribbetted". I just up in a start like some pud and the DP starts laughing. He saw it. "Did you catch that?" I asked. Zollo was laughing so hard he couldn't answer.

I started feeling stupid for having jumped up. Micah told me it was a good thing I had, bright green frogs have a tendency to pee all over nice black shirts. I frowned. A narrow escape. Perhaps it was a good omen for the day. An auspicious frog introduces the highest day in Spring.
