Exciting day!

Blocking the sword fight

Shooting a stab

 We had an very intense day today, with a shot that included dying, sword fighting, fake blood and a horse.  God kept all of the actors safe through the many different takes of the fighting.  I must say, I think this scene is going to look awesome!  Besides the planned excitement, we also had the added adrenalin rush of filming in a poison ivy haven, and having our horse actually run off (without anyone on it).  I think our neighbor was a bit surprised when a riderless horse showed up at his fence.  And I, the director, learned a lesson.  When chasing a large animal in a bur-infested area, wear socks.  But, at least we caught him. 

Ouch!
