Initially, the plan for \u201cLakegirl\u201d was to make it as a web series, and so when production started, that was what was in mind. It was small-budget with the plan for a couple of the actors to provide the usage of their handycams to shoot it with. A friend of mine from Minnesota asked if her four year old son could have the child role in it, so I agreed to this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The Epic Adventures of Lake Girl - Tyson - Shaylyn Gimby\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MaskedMarjorie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3803\" title=\"The Epic Adventures of Lake Girl - Tyson - Shaylyn Gimby\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Tyson_ShaylynGimby-256x384.jpg\" alt=\"The Epic Adventures of Lake Girl - Tyson - Shaylyn Gimby\" width=\"256\" height=\"384\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Then, the two actors who had agreed to provide their handycams both decided to drop out. I was in a panic, as my friend had left that morning to come up for the shoot the next day, but tried to stay calm. At the time I was still a student at the Academy of Broadcasting in their Acting for Film &amp; Television program, so I went over to the video broadcasting side of the school, asking if any of the students there would be willing to shoot it on one of the school&#8217;s cameras for me. Luckily, one of the students, Cherese Van Der Berg, said yes. After reading the script, she asked me what I had planned for a scene where one of the main characters, as a baby, is introduced in the story. I told her I&#8217;d planned on bundling up a blanket and calling that the \u201cbaby\u201d, to which she offered up the usage of her 3 month old daughter Charley. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I was practically in tears, because not only did I get an awesome videographer (who wound up becoming my Director of Photography and co-director when I was acting) as well as a live baby to use, but also, the camera we got to use for the majority of the shoots was a professional grade HD camera.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Then, on the day when we actually did start shooting, one of my actors who had said he would be there did not show up at all. I found out later it was a family emergency, and that in the rush of everything, he&#8217;d forgotten about the film until that night when he got home. Still, I was in a bit of a bind, as he was the man cast to play the part of the main character&#8217;s father. As good luck would have it, a friend of mine who I&#8217;d been working with in a stageplay at school, Nic Van Roon, called me up on my cel and asked if there were any roles open. I told him YES and within half an hour, he was on set. I had a copy of the script, told him which role he was cast as, and gave him 15 minutes to look over the lines for the first scene we were going to shoot, that being outdoors by an open garage door. He read over the lines, met up with the other actors in the scene (those being A.J. McCulloch, Brady \u201cBeemer\u201d Wolfgram, and Alexander Woodhouse) and we shot the scene in about an hour and a half to two hours. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The \u201cmaking of\u201d story of this movie goes along those lines, as things that should have been roadblocks wound up leading to bigger and better things for the project.
