Week #1 in Review

We're at the end of the first week of shooting and it's been quite eventful in the Carpathian Mountains. We started in Brezoi for the Labor Camp and bridge sequences, where our heroes escape. Rainy weather caused us to leave Brezoi early and reschedule some of the scenes today. We then trekked out to a small town called Biertan. We shot the Hungarian village exteriors, where our heroes leave their families for the Labor Camp.
While we were shooting in Biertan for a several days, we stayed in Sighsoare, one of Dracula's cities. It's a very old, medieval city where the decendents of the families, from the original city, still dwell.
Anyway, the Art Department transformed the town square of Biertan into an Hungarian village center and market. It was very impressive. We then shot in and around an old monestary. Absolutely beautiful.
After we wrapped in Biertan, we went back to Brezoi to blow up the bridge and the riverbank, one more time. We finished the scenes that were needed to complete the sequence halted by the rain.
We have now arrived in Bucharest where we'll spend the rest of the shoot. It was a very busy and successful week....More to come.
