You know those events that send chills up a filmmakers spine? The Past two days have been perfect examples. Yesterday we were located in a river bed. After about ten hours of filming the water decided to rise a couple inches, causing all the cast and crew to high tail it back up the mountainside. And I literally mean MOUNTAINside. A few scraps and bruises were just some of the reminders we received for that day. Today was a whole different story... it started with sleeping thirty minutes past my alarm clock, then into the freezing cold weather, which quickly turned to scorching hot temperatures. Water was becoming everyones new best friend, and wet rags were being handed out on set. Forty 'extras' joined us on this miserably hot day, and lucky for them they got to wear head to toe wool. I felt bad for them. Ten hours into the day, high winds and lightning showed up and nearly blew the set away! Due to the weather we had to wrap early, not something you usually want to do. An hour later catering arrived! Everyones favorite people (beside the Crafty PAs.) As we began to enjoy our food, it started to downpour, then treacherous winds shortly followed! It became so strong that you could not see anything past 5 feet, we had to evacuate...it was freezing and we were all drenched.
Hey Morgan here, for the past two weeks I have been interning on a film set. The position given to me was Craft PA(No, not arts and crafts.) And with the wonderful Hannah, Stephan, and Ryan, my day will never be boring. Basically what I do is watch over the snack table and make sure all the cast and crew get what they want. Plus side of being a Crafty PA is that we are located right on set, so I have the chance to talk to all the crew and some cast members as well. Also I can watch the filming (my favorite part.) I would love to go more into detail but there is just so much that I would never be able to put it into one post, so this is just a general update :) I arrived on location last tuesday, my first day was wednesday, very overwhelming day. That night I came to the realization that I was all alone, after a few bucket load of tears were shed, I remembered that I wasn't alone cause God was with me and will never leave me. Monday was the first day of shooting. It was awesome, I learned so much! Today I was stationed with locations. then after lunch joined my original position of Crafty PA. I feel like it's been weeks, when it's only been a few days. God has completely pushed my out of my comfort zone, and allowed me to be a part of something I never dreamed of being a part of. Well thats all I have for right now :)
