People have commented about the grass. The snow had melted off the grass a few days before filming and we have been getting rain and snow flurries daily. Everything was wet and there was no fire hazard.

That's amusing considering your background and experience; some people think you don't understand dry grass can burn or that irresponsible? As though you just setup at that spot and thought "Well, it's risky but hopefully I won't catch the woods on fire".

It is always been my experience that this early in the year the foil wrapping on the chocolate bunnies hasn’t really matured yet. The problem is sometimes the foil carries through with the shot into the body of the chocolate bunny. You have to be a little bit careful cleaning them to be sure you get all that foil out. I’m not sure why but it doesn’t seem to be as big a problem later in the year.
