Tova and Michael getting their hair dried for the retake of the scene with the fake rain. As you may notice, Tova has a sucker candy... she has the access to unlimited amount of sucker candies. :)

It was RAINING so hard today, the fake and real ones... we had to use the fake rain for the first four scenes.. then of course, the real rain came when we were done with those scenes. murphy law! anyhow..one of the characters in the movie is a dog. :D He came to the set today. Tova enjoyed meeting Kenny, the name of the dog. he is a mixed of german shepard and Beligum Malinois. kenny was soooo sweet and very well trained- he can become vicious on cue. the scene that was being filmed- required the fake rain to be turned on, and that dog had to bark bark brak then run to michael to attack, then as soon as the trainer called him off, he became such a sweet dog. it was amazing to watch the scene. We agreed that Tova cant watch the set while the dog's attacking michael in fear Tova will freak out for the next scene with the dog. She would have other scenes with Kenny as her pet so we wanted her to keep the image of the sweet dog.

when we were working on the scenes before the dinner break, we had to use the fake rain with Tova and Michael seeing the storms coming. then dinner break and as soon as the dinner break was over, the REAL rain came along with maybe 30mph wind and lightening. it was shocking to see that- we were in the living room watching the storm and i admit i did get confused.. was that the real rain or are they setting up the fake rain again? and crazy part was that the cameramen and Jeff came out running with the camera (waterproofed of course) to film the storm out on the field along with about 20 people scattered around picking up things around in the backyard to clear the way for the filming the field during the storm. they all came back in SOAKED! but they were happy to have filmed the storm! and the sound guy recorded the thunders, lightening, and the raining for the background sounds, while we all stood around in silence for about 4 minutes. they were so excited to record the real stuff! :)
