Vivid Morsels

In early April 2005 I was brought on board to production design a script by Neil McCay, Peter Dowty, and David Groves. The film we're creating is entitled "11", and is about parallels, fate, and the worst movie ever made. Here are my production notes and scenes from behind the scenes. -Alessandra Nicole

08/13: Big Bag of BABIES! Part One

Jessi, me, and my production design assistant Evelynne. We're at the crew's most favorite location, the frat house.

This place is a crap hole, it's really not our favorite.

It's another installment of shooting the movie "Lucifer Cicero" within our film "11". It's a day we have all looked forward to. It is Baby Throwing Day.


The basis of the plot of Lucifer Cicero is that virgins are destroyed and become baby dolls, which signify the souls of virgins. This movie is not a well-thought out horror film by any stretch of the imagination. It is the worst movie ever made, and was produced and directed by a local manure salesman who drastically underestimated the challenge of making a quality picture.
The jist of it...well, we've all heard it before. A mother and her daughter are on a drive to Grandma's house but they get lost and end up having to stay at the home of Lucifer. Lucifer is on the prowl for more virgin souls to add to his father's collection but he falls in love with the daughter, Delia, and doesn't want to destroy her. In the end, he must, and thus in a way he destroys himself too. Aww.


Emory and a baby doll run through lines together.

These are all the souls, all over Lucifer's deck. Oh darn, what a mess.

Neil is trying to arrange the virgin souls. Careful there, Neil, they're sacred.


Neil is posing as Lenny Buckles, the inept sound guy for Ron Price's production team on the movie Lucifer Cicero. One reason why Lucifer Cicero turns out so badly is because Lenny didn't have the sound on for most of filming, so they had to go back post production and dub in everyone's voice later. This coined one of the lines in "11" as a favorite saying we all use, "We'll fix it in post!"


Jesse is lookin' good as part of the crew, adjusting one of the bounce cards for better lighting on the set. It was over 100 degrees in the direct sunlight which we had to diffuse using a giant piece of silk, which you can see below:


There's Corey! The silk is an important part of a daytime exterior shoot for many reasons. It also takes many people to move it around and maintain it during filming.


In the foreground we have our camera that is filming Ron Price, Mikey Whipwreck, Lenny Buckles, and Percy Groot making the movie Lucifer Cicero.


Lucifer spears a virgin soul and speaks to it.


Poor Corey stood in the direct sun holding the boom mic for Dave all afternoon.

Pete and Neil fondle the fake boom mic.

Here is Lenny Buckles for the movie Lucifer Cicero.


Emory Kristof as Percy Groot, before the transformation into (cue the dramatic music...)Lucifer, Son of Satan!!!


Does the background look familiar...remember D.E. Randall's interviews?


Awww, our friendly neighborhood Lucifer!
