Earthmoving Retro: Director’s Storyboard
That’s why you should not let Grenzfurthner draw a storyboard. But then again… it worked!

Earthmoving: Oooh! IMDb with Trivia!
Here is our IMDb entry for Earthmoving… and we even added trivia!
Voila!
Hrubesch’s band-aid in the film is not a prop. Actor Alexander Fennon had a bicycle accident the morning of the first day of shooting and had to go to the hospital to get the wound stitched. Director Johannes Grenzfurthner asked if he could get a kid’s band-aid and was very pleased with the red one with a blue hippo that Alexander Fennon got from the nurse.
…and one more…
Filming Van Hulzen’s blood sneeze was the most unpleasant part of the production of Earthmoving. It was impossible to fake the location of the GPS display, so a small team drove to the Vienna Airport and mounted the device to the back window of the car. Hans Wagner sprinkled fake blood onto the GPS. After each try the GPS had to be cleaned and twisted and turned so it would show the correct geographical direction. It was one of the coldest and windiest nights of winter 2012. It took twenty takes and the fake blood almost froze.

Earthmoving: Post-Production Frenzy!
Last Friday we declared picture lock.
Our sound sorcerers Sebastien Bedard and Maxime Voinson (of Audiozone in Montreal, Canada) finished audio design and mastering over the weekend.
And Stefanie Gratzer (of Golden Girls) is currently working in the dark dungeons of color grading.
That means that Sierra Zulu’s prequel Earthmoving will be finished tomorrow evening.
Nastrovje!
Earthmoving: Cutting in Progress!
On its most fundamental level, film editing is the art, technique, and practice of assembling shots into a coherent whole. It is usually performed in dark, smelly places.
Director Johannes Grenzfurthner and editor Tom De Roeck can tell you how dark and how smelly.
