Disaster in Paradise

September 3, 2006

Hey Everyone--Chris Ward here, reporting on day 6 of our shoot in Hawaii! Got lots to talk about, including some bad news...

Everything has been going very smoothly, scene after scene coming in stronger and stronger. Collin O'Neal's two scenes turned out excellent (see his previous entry on this blog) and yesterday we shot something really spectacular when megahunk Blake Nolan topped new RSS discovery Steve Cruz! Blake is a tall, muscular statue of a man, and Evrett! Indeed, Steve is so typical of Raging Stallion that he may very well become one of the RSS icons! I can't say enough about him--he really represents my ideal of what a porn star should be. We are going to try to upload a photo of him here later today, but our Internet service is pretty spotty, so if you don't see one, sorry...

RSS exclusive Mark LaSalle arrived, the last of our stars to hit the big island. He is now sporting a beard--looks like GI joe. I am really thrilled with his good looks--indeed, this entire cast is stunning, probably the finest group of guys I have gathered since Arabesque.

Now for the bad news--yesterday started off well until word got back to base camp that one of the Our SUVs had been driven into a ditch! No amount of pushing or pulling could free the vehicle, so we had to call upon a tow service to save the day--only problem is that the nearest tow truck is 100 miles away! Thank goodness for AAA--they came and got us out and for no charge! Since we have two trucks, we were able to keep the shoot on schedule...until disaster number two hit us hard.

The B-roll (non sex stuff, like opening credits is called b-roll) for Lords of the Jungle involved a bunch of guys washing up on a beach, with ex-marine Jake Deckard taking command to save them all. While shooting down near the water's edge a rougue wave (tsunami like) rose up from the dark depths of the Pacific and raced towards shore, hurling all of our cast and our camera man onto the jagged rocks. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but our new HD camera was tuned into a u-boat. It has not turned on since. What bugs me is that this is an eleven thousand dollar camera and we really did some major damage to it. Fortunately we have two other cameras, including another HD camera, but this one was a really wonderful piece of equipment.

So the shoot goes on with some very exciting stuff on schedule for the next two days. When I get back to SF I will upload a bunch of photos from our adventure, so keep checking back here for future updates!
