Love in the Movers

And Action!

Your Pov
It's been a few days of filming in this location and I have to say I am getting the hand of it nicely. Bolin has been helping me out a lot and showing me the ropes. After filming each day we have been going out to dinner to run some lines to help with memorization. It has been super fun so far, and we are about to wrap up at this location then move to the studio to film the rest of the mover.

We still have a couple more scenes to shoot though before the move. We need to get the main fight in the building done, it's a huge battle so it's been taking us a while to get a good take, and then we need to do our epic escape from the building as it falls down around us. So far Varrick has been super pleased with my agility and former warrior training as it really help sell my fight scenes. Bolin has been so fun to work with in fight scenes because he just fully gets into it at times, and the fake water bending is hilarious to witness. He is literally just waving his arms around and then someone with a bucket chunks water in that direction. I have wondered though why not just hire a water bender to move the water off camera to make it more believable?

Anyways I'm currently being read today's agenda by Zhu Li while the hair and makeup crew get me all set. I'm already dawned in my Apricity outfit that I was slowly falling in love with as the days go on.

"We are going to start with warm ups in the garden for a good half hour then we will move to the fight scene we already have a good idea of how the first half works we just need to finish fixing up the second half and Varrick believes we should get that done today. If we manage to pull that off as we hope we are then going to move on to the grand escape and the riding away on the animal companions."

The animal companions is one of my favorite things to shoot! They found this super sweet leapord-bear for me too ride on, her name is frost and she is just the sweetest thing! I love her so much but unfortunately I'm not able to take her with me because she doesn't technically belong to me but to Varrick (He got her just for this mover) plus Tenzin doesn't want her on the island. She is so cute and I feel that I have really bonded with her during this experience but alas she shall never truly be mine!

Once the crew finish with me Zhu Li rushes me out the back for the warm ups with Bolin and Mr.Yaven. The warm ups seem to fly by and we quickly find ourselves in the midst of a heated battle between good and evil. Bolin swings his massive club at one dude knocking him down then turning and waving his arms at another, signaling for bucket guy to toss water on him then the guy pretends that he is washed away by it. Then five guys come up and tackle him and he is dramatically pinned down and trying to escape, that's when I bust in from the roof and land next to one of the guys and kick him off of Bolin. Then I use my 'magic' knife to send the other guys flying off of him by swinging it in there direction. I use my air bending to really sell this effect and another person throws magic snow' into my winds to make it seem like ice magic rather than air bending. The four guys land into the fake walls that we have made out of a soft foam so that it doesn't really hurt when they crash into it.

I help Bolin off the ground by giving him my hand and pulling him up with my left arm. This is supposed to be the moment when our characters lock eyes for the first time and the world around us supposedly 'slows down'. So me and Bolin just stand there staring into one another's eyes while the camera kind of pans around us for a moment, and soft music plays while the lights focus around us. Magic snow dude also sprinkles that stuff over our heads and it kinda swirls around us. I stare into Bolin's perfect deep green eyes and something deep in my soul just melts a little at his gaze. I feel like he can read my mind as his eyes bore into mine.

Then everything spreads back up when more extras dressed as evil henchmen come bursting into the room. I cool down my brain and spring back into my character. Me and Bolin stand back to back with our prop weapons drawn as the extras circle around us.

"I'm Apricity by the way" I shoot back at Bolin while staring down the 'goons' in front of me.

"NuckTuck. It's nice to meet you Apricity, I sure do owe you for saving me sack there." Bolin replies in his supposedly burly NuckTuck voice. The extras move in to attack and I swing my knife and send two flying backwards while he gets another three splashed by bucket man. One of the extras swings a whip at me and I catch it wrap it around my arm and pull sending him stumbling towards me then I drop it and 'punch' him knock him to the ground.

"Thank me after we finish off these fools of Unalaq's." Bolin swings his club and kind of collects two extras on the end of it before stopping the swing, sending them into the wall to land on the others from earlier and make a pile. We then do this thing where Bolin grabs my hand and we nod at each other before he bends over and I jump and swing myself on top of him on my back a swing all the way around and kick back three extras as I go. Once I land my feet back on the ground I duck and he swings his club over me hitting another one in the head. I stand back up straight and do a bit of a dramatic hair flip as a face up again. Then the tricky part is when seven guys come rushing at us and Bolin is supposed to pick me up and throw me at them and I'm supposed to do this epic twirl in the air and slash them down with my knife move. Me and Bolin make eye contact and nod again as he picks me up with one arm, I make it easier be jumping a little and using some air bending, and he tosses me at them. By some amazing luck I am able to do the move flawlessly and I do a front flip at the end and land on my feet in a Crouch. All of the extras I just went through simultaneously fall onto the floor. I stand up and do a half turn in there direction looking over my shoulder.

"Cuuuut!" Varrick yells and a click is heard from the clapboard. We all let out a huff and immediately slump our shoulders. The extras are groaning a little as they all get up. "That was perfect! Absolutely perfect! Camera guy make sure you save that footage for our final cut cuz that it mover magic right there!" Varrick gets up from his directors seat and walks over to me and waves Bolin over as well. "You two were amazing! I mean the way you pulled off that stunt was fantastic! Now we are going to give everyone a little breather then move on to the epic get away!" He claps me and Bolin on the shoulders and smiles proudly at us. "I knew you two we be perfect mover stars!" He let's go of us and turns on his heel. "That's break!" He yells and everyone cheers and makes there way out the doors.

Well that's a wrap for now! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter in 'Love in the Movers' and I'll see you all next time!
