Secret of The Skosh - Behind the Scenes - Part 1

In case you're wondering what The Secret of The Skosh is, and missed the subtle clues in the story, here you go:

The Skosh!

We had a lot of fun over the two-day shoot for Natalie Marlowe & The Secret of The Skosh. It really was a homespun production. Obi did the caterting, Dad did all the postproduction,

and Mom was the Hair & Makeup department.

Behind the scenes, when it came time to work, Nat was a consummate professional.

She took her work very seriously. Here she is in her cast chair, studying the day's callsheet. The cast chair was one of the demands she made to do this project. That, and lots of yogurt raisins.

Working with Obi was a treat for Natalie, but less so for her Dad.

Trying to get a two-and-a-half-year-old and a puppy on the same page took some patience, luck and a lot of pictures. These two just love to mess around when they're together.

Dolly, on the other hand, was an oak. You could put her on her mark and she wouldn't move. Couldn't have gone better ... except sometimes Nat got a little too wrapped up in the scenes.

*PUNCH!*

The interrogation scenes with Dolly were particularly harrowing as Natalie went METHOD.

A lot of actors have a hard time doing FX shots. Well, Natalie had it down Pat as you can see how well she interacted with the props in some of these pre-FX shots.
