Off to Hawaii!

August 22, 2006

Hey guys!

It is very busy around the studio this week as we begin packing for my huge South Pacific island shoot. This is the biggest movie Raging t Stallion has ever undertaken--we have 21 guys (both cast and crew) boarding airplanes to fly to the ends of the earth to shoot hot jungle sex! You will not believe the lineup of men we have for this shoot--all Americans, this time out. The cast includes Jake Deckard, Steve Cruz, Colln O'Neal, Jason Crew, Marc Lasalle, Justin Christopher, Jay black, and several new discoveries that will knock your socks off! One of these new guys--he doesn't have a porn name yet--is a hot, young, beautifully muscled STRAIGHT guy who loves to get fucked! That's right--a straight bottom. We normally don't shoot straight guys at Raging Stallion, but this guy is so hot--and a bottom! I asked the other actors if they were into fucking a straight guy on film, and you should have seen their eyes! "Hell yea!" was the resounding reply! So this may be a first ever in gay porn--a bunch of gay studs gang banging an actual straight man! And I thought I had seen everything....

So what is it like packing for a big shoot like this? Well, we have four cameras that need to be hand carried on board the aircraft. We have our state-of-the-art HD Canon camera (this is our main shooting device) and a second, smaller HD camera to be used in places to dangerous to carry the main camera. Can you imagine how nervous I would be with my camera man out in the water with a $25,000.00 camera? One slip or a big wave and I am out a lot of bucks! The smaller, pro-am camera can take the fall! We also are bringing two older Canon XL2S's that we have as back ups. We shot many movies on these old Canons, but the light capabilities of the HD optics makes them much more preferable. Many of the shooting days have two crews working simultaneously on both sides of the island, so all of these cameras will be put to good use.

What else will we need? Well, each camera has a monitor (so the director can watch what is happening). These are fancy new HD monitors--very expensive! Gotta pack them well. We also have all of our still cameras--enough for two photographers to work at the same time--two sets of strobes, together with all their stands, etc. We also have a box of reflector cards to harness the sunlight. Since we envision no indoor shooting, we are only taking a few video lights.

Of course we also have to pack all the makeup, condoms, lube, and other model supplies that will be hard to find in the middle of nowhere. The place we are shooting only has electricity during the daylight hours--all generators turn off at nine pm--you see, we really are going to be in the middle of nowhere!

Most of what we will need we will buy on the island before leaving for the shoot location. We have three SUVs rented to provide daily service back and forth to the airports and the boat docks--we will also be loading these up with supplies for our ambitious mountain top shoot that will extend over three days.

Amazingly, there is some degree of Internet connectivity, so I will be reporting almost every day on the shoot--we fly out on Sunday and will be on location for 14 days, so be sure to tune in here at chriswardpornblog.com for updates on what is happening with the shoot. We will try to post daily photos as well.

It may be a bit hectic around here for the next few days, but I will try to get in at least one more gay porn update before I leave!

Enjoy!
