Snow Beast

Well, I started writing this on April 9th, thinking I'd actually have enough time to write a full entry. Apparently I was wrong. haha. But here's at least part of it since I wrote absolutely zero about the film.

So, sometimes I'm really good at posting regularly while filming... and other times? Not so much. This has been one of those not-so-much ones. Almost the entire first week was spent on top of a mountain (Aspen Grove area) in the middle of a blizzard. By the way, this was all outside. The first day was fine (wasn't snowing) and so I thought I would do just fine with the gloves and boots that I had. Boy was I wrong! Day 2 was a full on blizzard and by the end of the day, I seriously was worried about frostbite. My fingers were so cold that they hurt... and I couldn't feel them. Yet somehow they still hurt. I don't know how to explain that.

As soon as we wrapped that night, I texted Doug and Joe to see if I could borrow their massive snow boots that they let me borrow during "Frozen" last year. They're currently filming 127 Hours in SLC and I had no idea when they wrapped, but I didn't care - I would come pick up the boots at any hour. I wanted to maintain feeling in my toes the rest of the week! Joe called me when they had time (in between takes, etc) and Doug gave me instructions as to how to acquire his snow boots at his storage unit.

Day 3 was amazing. I had snow boots from Doug, snow pants from Brittany (one of our producers), gloves from Stan (in my FHE group), and winter attire from my own wardrobe. I was ready to take on anything! Of course, it didn't dump snow on us this time, but I was plenty okay with that!
