So, this blog today is to show you, the viewers, the behind the scenes on a typical day with Phil.
As you recall from the last blog, we saw Phil exploring a abandoned home in Silverdale. What you didn't see was how Phil was actually able to get in to this home. As you can see from the photo below, Phil was strategically placed on the window ledge, as I snapped his photo. You can also see Ian was snapping a photo of me snapping a photo of Phil, while Dave was snapping a photo of Ian, snapping a photo of me, snapping a photo of Phil.

In our next location, where Phil had met some friends, in reality, Dave and Ian helped me pick out these fellows from a pile that was next to the building, which we placed on the foam ledge to get that perfect shot.

And finally, a little creative camera work by Dave, as he snapped this next photo of me preparing the chalk board at Eden Christian College for Phil's photo. Phil is pretty smart, but due to the lack of hands and fingers, it was just not possible for him to accomplish this. Hence, a little help was necessary.

And last but not least, Dave snapped a picture of me taking the final shot of the day of Phil.

As you can see a lot of time and effort goes into preparing JUST the right situation for Phil, so I hope you have all enjoyed this behind the scenes look into Phil. Until the next adventure!
AAAAh, I KNEW Phil couldn't get by without a little help from his friends! You never mention though...Who does his makeup? And does he have his own trailer? Does Phil have a special diet to keep his slim trim physique? After all, the camera does add 10 pounds, they say.
ReplyDeletePhil just loves the camera...no matter who is taking the photo.
ReplyDeleteNext time, I'll do a video of the shots being taken of Phil.
