To clarify even more, here's and addendum to Lawrence's post about what went down that fateful Sunday night/Monday morning.
Eric was back at the apartment by 12:05. He has a text-message from Lawrence at 12:06am. Lawrence likely spent the next 30 minutes deciding what to wear (see post). He then came over. By that time, it was nearly a quarter to one.
There were shots. Oh yes, there were shots.
Eric did not think the trailer was spooky. He thought the possibility that a deranged serial killer was hunkered down inside the trailer - fresh from killing the security guard - waiting for punks to mess with the construction site nearby; he thought that was a little spooky.

The Making of a Short Film - Foot in the Mouth
Yesterday, we shot Matt Hill's "Foot in the Mouth." Here are excerpts from some of the conversations:
Eric: Ready to shoot?
Lawrence: I'm glad you have confidence in my skills, but you just gave me the script ten minutes ago.
Eric: So...want to do a read through?
Lawrence: Yeah.
Chad: Are you going to block the shots?
Eric: Block?
Chad: You know, blocking.
Eric: Oh, you mean tell you where to stand and move so the shots line up on different takes?
Chad: Yeah.
Eric: No. Just remember where you were.
Chad: Okay...
Howard: I think I missed my cue.
Kenna: Was that good?
Eric: Perfect. Except next time stand on the other side of him.
Chad: Is this your lighting?
Eric: Only until I can get to Home Depot.
Howard: Did I miss my cue again?
Eric: Yeah.
Eric: Pause before you say, "and wasps." It'll make it funny.
Chad: Gotcha.
Eric: Okay, let's do it again. You're at a party, it's fun, but Chad's pissed off and Lawrence can't say the right thing. And...ACTION. (Lawrence's cell phone rings) And...CUT.
