Kymra and Rob got together with me this weekend to wrap up the last of the scenes in the Derry House front upstairs bedroom - the one we've been using as "Jonathan's room". This was partly so that we could return the paintings Chris Kersey (Rob's brother) loaned us, and partly to allow the room to be used for visiting guests, without having to keep disassembling it. But also, of course, we just wanted to get it done!
Mostly, what was left was the scene in which Laura brings Jonathan back from the clinic, groggy from being drugged - I won't say why, in case there's anybody out there who doesn't already know about this plot twist. She has to tuck him into bed, basically, although there are a couple bits of dialog and action in the scene that are important to the story. Then we did a quick, two-shot scene between the two of them, and that's pretty much it for that room.
Unfortunately, we didn't have time to get to Laura's other scene in the back bedroom. That would have finished up our use of the upstairs. But we'll get to that soon.
I also had Rob pick up toy that sends a blast of air across the room. We're going to use it to try to blow out the flaming hand, when the robed figure walks outside. (Although, when I edited the footage we have together, that shot didn't look too bad, as it stands.)
