Friday June 9th 2006

I found out that they needed me Friday also. I didn't know this until we were checking out at 9:30pm... The email I got Wednesday night said Thursday only. Anyway, such is the life of a "wannabe" extra!  Chuck & Bob were already scheduled to be there Friday. I am sort of a "fill in" extra... even lowlier than the regular extras?  Ouch. The goal was to "wrap" the Esther filming completely and we are to stay until it is done. However, it rained pretty heavily. In fact, they were going to cancel the shoot, but after a prayer it let up enough to film some.  We didn't arrive until 10:30am. The group that arrived at 5:00am ended up finally shooting their first film after we arrived at about 11:15am or so.  We shot one scene (Haman inspecting the troops) and ate lunch.  We shot one scene after lunch (handing out the swords to soldiers... I got to hold all the swords), then the gallows scene (only 4 guys, not me) before being sent home.  My first short day.

Here are the Videos I took:
