Yesterday, we shot on the ledges of a place called "The Pinnacles" in Berea, KY. This is the title scene in which Scott, Brian, & Wendy spend the day hiking and having a great time. At one point, Wendy sings a verse of "Rocky Top" and the others join in -- in a hammy way. One pleasant surprise in casting: Jenna ("Wendy") can really sing. In fact, the whole cast can. The scene therefore played out less campy than intended. Serendipity.
The bugs at the bottom were fierce and the trail up to the ledges was steep--especially for the crew carrying camera equipment. So once we got there, we shot enough material for two feature-length films...just to make it worth the climb.
Jenna sang the first two verses of "Rocky Top" about 40 times...a painful chore for a UK fan.
It was the most fun day of the shoot.
