Sanding. The poor girl was wet sanding. You insensitive, jerk-wad! Ellie never waxed a thing in her life. (oh... ah... never mind).
At that point of time, we were knee-deep in effects work for an independent Producers movie -- started out as an homage to old SF TV shows but degenerated into a ****ing slasher-flick. As the production was being done on the cheap the Producer wanted to limit post-shoot process and second unit-work, so everything was shot 'in-camera' at one site (the 'studio' an old, decrepit Shriner's Temple, of all things). So, most of the miniatures had to be big.
What Ellie's working on is the bottom half of a time-traveling saucer, the TD-1. The tool in the background was used to form the big sperm shaped space station. And the shark looking organic rocket ship was the bad-guy's ride.
The working title of this awful POS movie was, Space Patrol. But, after at least five screenplays became, Midnight Movie Massacres, and later still as, Attack From Mars. God awful.
Because Ellie and I refused to join any union or guild, the only movie we got credit on -- both opening and closing credits. I could go on about this thing, but don't want to spoil your next meal.
