INTENSE day yesterday. we got called at 330pm. saw Jessica and Michael in the dressing room. Tova was happy to see them after four days off. Tova got into her favorite green dress (yes, Jenn, it s the green dress from Carter :)) and her brown platform shoes, hair all set up and ready to go. the scene scheduled to be filmed is one of the biggest scenes in the movie. this scene is when everyone realizes there s something wrong with michael's character. it also requires tova to act scared, cry, upset- whatever will happen. jeff and i have been preparing her for that scene. also there s a fight between michael and shea (Dewart character- a friend of michael's character) happening right in front of everyone, including tova. we warned tova that there will be a fight and it s not real, no one will get hurt. she was prepared for that. she did a beautiful beautiful job. everyone in the room (the extras, tech crew) clapped for her. :) THEN, the intense part was michael's monologue. he was sooo good- he has to lose it during the monologue. and i could feel everyone tense up watching him doing his monologue. i forgot to breath for about ten minutes after the scene was over. whew. tova became nervous and worried about michael. when it was time for tova to go home, jessica and michael checked in with tova to be sure she was okay and letting her know that michael is okay. they communicated primary in signs. it was such a beautiful thing to watch! it all ended with jessica and michael signing 'sweet dreams' to tova. awww. that calmed tova down knowing michael is okay and it was just his acting part. just you wait until you see the scene. oh wow.

ten cosmos.... cosmo is the second of second assistant director. he is a gem. Melissa and i teased him that there is ten cosmos... he is practically everywhere helping out, making sure everyone is safe and okay, knowing what to do, get the info to everyone, etcetc... he s there right next to us, 15 seconds later, he s 500 feet away, 30 seconds later he s in other blg, a minute later he s besides us. thus- ten cosmos. our favorite favorite moment of yesterday was about cosmo. picture this- melissa and I are under the tent with the camera crew. tova, michael and jessica are walking from the car. it was raining a bit. cosmo s standing next to us. 4 seconds later we notice he is by the blg telling people to keep the doors closed to be ready to lock in (stand in your place during shooting). then 3 seconds after that, where s cosmo? just as soon as jeff said cut when jessica, michael and tova walk towards the open door into the blog, pops up cosmo with two umbrellas by the car besides the three of them walking to the door, ready to hand them the umbrellas, all looking like Mary Poppins. seriously, could there really be ten cosmos!? tova adores him! if i ever need a manny for tova, i know who to look for. :)
