Director Stuart Glid starts writting a script for the short film.

DAY 3: 2nd of August, 2006:
The script along with the screenplay is finished, and is distributed by the actors

DAY 4: August 10th, 2006:
The crew gathers at Hugo's house to shoot scene 3. Everything goes well and smoothly. A number of 20 takes were done all for the same scene.

DAY 5: August 14th, 2006:
The crew gathered at Pinhal Da Paz Forest Reservation to shoot scene 2 of the script. After hard hiking up a small moutain we finally reached the top, and start to sort the equipment. but unfortunately it started rainning, so we had to pack things up and hike down the mountain again under heavy rain.

DAY 6: August 17th, 2006:
After two days of bad weather conditions, the crew gathered once again at the Forest Reservation to shoot scene 2, and hopefully the weather wasn't bad at all. We shot all we had to shoot there during the whole day, hiking through dirt trails and dense forest.

DAY 7: August 22nd, 2006:
The crew gathered once again at Hugo's house, this time we were going to shoot the beginning sequence and scene 4. We had all the materials to make the "Shoggoth Serum"/Blochloride. We mixed them all in a plastic cup, and we're ready to pour it to the syringe, when Stuart accidentaly tripped and spilled some of the liquid all over a white wall. The wall was white after the liquid was spilled onto it, making it go from white to blue. We were unsucsessful after two hours of trying to wash the liquid from the wall, so it had to be painted again. After this unfortunate accident we completed shooting with the syringe full of the remaining liquid.

DAY 8: August 23rd, 2006:
The crew gathered once again at the Forest Reservation, this time to shoot the ending sequence. Nothing went wrong with shooting.

DAY 9: August 25th, 2006:
This was the day shooting was expected to wrap up. But Freddy could only be avaiable that day so we extended shooting to August 28th. After about 25 takes of the scene shot from different angles the director was finally satisfied, and we could all rest.

Day 10: August 28th, 2006:

The crew gathered at Stuart's house to shoot the green-screen scenes with the Moray Eels. It was a great day of shooting and everything was allright. The film wrapped production this day.

Day 11: September 8th, 2006:
Editing for Ex Oblivione was finished and a screener was now avaiable to be sent to the H.P. Lovecraft Film festival but unfortunately submissions were closed. So we now have to wait for them to come up with a new schedule.
