In the aftermath of the typhoon we were greeted by an evanescent cerulean sky! It’s day 2 of special effects shooting! Let’s get to work!

There was a time in my life where I wanted to be a pyrotechnician.

Before we knew it, however, there were ominous signs on the horizon…
What’s that? Aren’t we supposed to be enjoying the calm after the storm?
Japan has suddenly become a tropical island…
Seriously…

Sunset Boulevard in Tateyama. We left to buy ice cream at Lawson and then it’s back to Tokyo.
As always, a lot went down before the day’s close but we can’t reveal what just yet.
You’ll have to wait just a little longer.
Oh and before we forget… today marked the end of live action action shooting.
