Behind The Scenes

Photos and stories from the set and production of Chrysalis.

Clem's Canopy

Hanging the canopy in a room this tall was a two man task, with Pat up on a chair and Dylan down below helping from the ground.

Headshot Setup

Getting pics of the crew was essential for the film's credits sequence, so a special set was put together on night one just for that.

Makeover, Makeover

Dylan debuts his makeup and outfit for his scene in the film. Thank you Alex for help with his makeover!

Gas Station Photoshoot

Having Brandon appear in the project was an idea too good to pass up, and a memory too good to go unmade.

Clementine's Cooking

Clementine sits at her computer, crafting the nastiest PluggnB beat possible.

Hardcore Directing

Aran and Chip are seen, deep in conversation about a shot that is likely no more than five seconds.

Housekeeping

Having a printed shotlist is a godsend, but only if you're able to keep track of what you have and haven't done.

Clem Phi Chrys

A quick sorority squat to raise morale over the long weekend.

Fearless

Chip was more than willing to meet Bonita where she was, showing no fear for the fuzzy actress.

A Crew Well Fed

Was Aran late to every night of shooting? Maybe. Was she getting delicious food for the cast and crew? Most of the time. If you're wondering where your donations went, the answer is someone's belly.

Boring Ahh Movie Set

Sometimes when left to focus on a shot for too long, the brain starts to desire a little extra dopamine, as a treat.

Sounding Expert

Pat, after working on all fifty-seven other capstone projects, still managed to find some time for Chrysalis. Pat was slinging sound like nobody's business.

Making New Friends

Ben was brave around the Caterpillars, befriending this one for a good portion of the morning.

Miraculous Mirrors

The crew was hard at work in the greenscreen room cooking up some devious shots, but not before setting up some elaborate mirror arrangements for the camera.

Hair-Raising Action

Will found himself behind the TVs as a support, but not without taking a brunt of the static electricity.

A Watchful Eye

For most of the weekend, Chip was staring down the sights of a Sony Handycam DCR-VX2100 in all its 480p glory.

Momma's Little Boy

Garfield was a star player in the film, but it didn't come without some anxiety. As the first thing people see in the film, he was a tad nervous about his on-screen appearance.
