When we arrived at the old windmill, where the set of the boundary fence was built, the snow had almost melted away and the desert mud and sand that this region is normally known for was reclaiming the landscape piece by piece.
After several rehearsals and some amazing scavenging by the production designer Robin Chiu and Producer and Villain Norman Rees, the set was ready and the scenes were good to shoot.
We spent most of the day at the location, interrupted only by the odd desert patrol and some of the test pilots pushing their futuristic aircraft to the limit in the skies above, causing us to stop filming when, just like the night before; it seemed like we were under an artillery bombardment for several minutes as the space planes re-entered the atmosphere.
We finished the afternoon with an impromptu snowball fight in the desert (as odd as it sounds) and some behind the scenes shenanigans ( that can be viewed below) before heading back to base to reset for the next scene and have another encounter with a certain film crew...
