The latest member of the Black Dog Clan is the manager of our building. He’s been the president of a large construction company in Fukui Prefecture. He now spends a lot of time making military “pro” models. He makes a lot of planes and really likes the American planes, which is interesting because when the B-17 Flying Fortresses flew overhead, he had to hide in the rice paddies, neck-deep in the water to reduce the chance of getting hit with shrapnel.

The working system in Hollywood is something like this: one person performs a task and 40 or 50 people watch him. In this case we only had 3 or 4 in the audience when John taped off the screen.

Notice the people standing around as Eva pulls on a rung on the terrace. It was supposed to break off in her hand and then (in post) cut to a stunt person falling onto an airbag. This was surprisingly difficult to do and took an hour or two.

The view of the video tap monitor. Here’s Kyle McLachlan and Dana Delany discussing a letter of great import…
