Side Work on Orc Wars!

While Lucy and I played at the Church History Museum with Emily and Olive, Brandon worked...and fulfilled his life-long dream of being an elf in a movie! Just kidding!! It really wasn't work for him. No, I'm really kidding that it was a life-long dream of his.

Brandon actually was just helping his friend, Kohl Glass, by being an elf extra in his first feature length film that he wrote and directed - Orc Wars. Kohl is a friend from the film program at BYU and just needed an elf extra on short notice. So since Brandon didn't have work (and he kinda fits the look), he made the long drive down to the shoot for two days to make a little extra money but more, as a favor for his friend.

Lucy barely got to see the ears but the rubbery make-up took days to fully come off. Just glad he was an elf instead of an orc - the make-up must have taken ridiculously long to put on and take off. You can see some of the orcs in the link above.

But here is my hubby in full costume. I just can't help but giggle a little bit.

Legolas, eat your heart out. You ain't got nothin' on this elf. And girls - notice the ring - he's taken.

Go on honey - kill some orcs!
