Mad City Chickens B-roll

Today, we did a few pick-ups to get some much needed B-roll for the Mad City Chickens movie. We revisited two different chicken households that we originally had shot footage at this past winter. Everybody’s got new chicks and the gardens are starting to pop. We wanted some spring shots without a snow covering.

Fly’s article has appeared so far in nearly 20 newspapers nationwide from Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago and the Twin Cities to Seattle, Portland, Denver and Anchorage.

Scouting Vehicles

We have a scene in Mad City Chickens that we’ll be shooting soon; it calls for a big flat-bed truck. Last night after work, we spent an hour or so the entire evening scouting out rental trucks.

Standing there in the parking lot at 9:45pm, trying to imagine if this particular vehicle would be large enough to fit our polka band, we suddenly noticed the sign that read, “People are not allowed in the back of truck.”Bloody Hell! Is no idea original anymore? Well, we didn’t want that truck anyway–too many logos we’d have to cover-up.
