RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN
I brought all my junk (chair, extra clothing, suit & shoes) then realized there was no way I was going to be able to bring all of it to the holding area. So I decided to just leave my suit in the car and hope that I was booked as a casual UFO convention attendant.
I was right. I was booked as a casual guy instead of the suit and tie guy. I was sitting near the back of the holding area so Jeff, Gabby (who we met) and I got to play some Phase 10. We had a lot of fun learning the game and had some good conversation. Then we finally got called to set.
It was pretty amazing how they made an empty barn look like a convention floor. I'm always amazed at how the production designers can do these kinds of things. But then came the takes. As usual, we did take after take after take and after awhile, when you're doing the same thing over and over again, it begins to wear on you. Now I know what people mean when they say they don't know how actors can do this because it's so monotonous and repetitive, it's difficult to stay focused and act the same way you did on the first take.
They had a lot of UFO-ologists on the floor for some cameos and it was interesting to see the books they wrote and how into it they are. The subject is kind of mind blowing if you take it seriously. Jeff and I ended up talking to some people who claimed that a lot of our technology is based on alien crash materials. Who knows if it's true?
