...on another season of Mr D, in Halifax.
52 days, 13 eps, over 400 "rolls" of digital media on the A-cam; and a whole bunch of laughing.

time for the wrap party?
in a fairly unorthodox move (due to some scheduling with our lead), it was decided to hold the wrap party on the weekend before we actually finished.

one of our cast is a prominent canadian rapper = he decided to get up and give a live performance when the DJ played one of his songs (unrehearsed) = the kiddie actors *(senior students) were lovin' it - evidenced by the number of cell phone videos that will be soon floating around.

...nope = post-wrap total-system-shutdown hit 8 hrs early... this day is going to suck!
in all honesty, aside from the snotty-sneezing-congested-mess-of-a-human holding the boom for the last 2/3 of the last day - it was a fantastic finish to an awesome show.
I know that it was said a lot during the season, but I'll say it again.
Mr D is quite simply the best job I've ever worked on! the cast and crew truly make it something special; I've enjoyed every single day on-set and look forward to many more seasons of laughter and fun.
all the best
