I was at the University of Oregon over the summer and I ran into them filming a scene from Zerophelia on campus! It was the last day of shooting. They were shooting a scene with the front of a semi truck. I'm very curious to see the final scene, because when they shot the scene, the kid backed up the truck as fast as he could go, and there was someone on a cell phone walking backwards across the street! I have a few photos if anyone wants to see them. Private message me through the board

I'd like to see em. This film sounds interesting and I really don't know any details about it.

That's not the final scene, and I'll bet my left nut that backwards shot will never make it into the film. I was an intern on the production (also a UO student) so I was there too. They tried the backwards motion (meant to be played in reverse to create the illusion of moving forward) because Taylor Handley was having trouble parking the old semi truck in the right spot for the shot. It was creative, but I was watching the monitor and could see several people walking forward in the background, which means, obviously, they would be moving backward in the edited shot.

You just lost your left nut. They used the shot when the truck filled the entire frame. So about your left nut, I'm going to let you keep it. You have to remove it from your body, but you can keep it.

No way on the nut, though I appreciate your proposed generosity. It doesn't count if they didn't use the "2nd 2nd AD" walking backwards," but nice try.

Well by "final" I actually meant "finished." Anyway, here are some pictures. They're not that great, but I didn't want anyone getting mad at me for wandering around the set with a camera so I tried to be discreet.
