Yesterday was a full day of work for Tova. the first scene- she was with Michael looking at the truck engine and then she notices something over there and walks towards whatever was over the. so, she got to stand on the street 'looking' at the birds flying towards her- those birds will be added with the special effects during the editing progress. Cosmo told her 'this is the ONLY time you can stand on the street!' :) the street was blocked both directions during the filming. anyhow- i noticed there were MANY tennis balls out on the front yard in a perfect pattern. i eventually realized that it was for the special effects when they will add the flying birds to help them measure where to put the birds. funny, once, they were filming when Michael had Tova in his arms and looking up at the "birds", in the distance back, we could see an neighbor- elderly man walking slowly to his mailbox.. the director had to say CUT and wait until that neighbor walks back to his house to completely disappear from the set. it s amazing how detail oriented everything has to be on the film. even the grass where Tova and Michael walk over- it was still wet after the storm the day before. the prop person had to rake the leaves to make them stand up after we walked all over the grass.

during the hot sunny days, Tova would have her own mary poppins next to her. yep Cosmo again. :)


the next big scene was of tova and michael again. this time, tova is seeing something thru the window- i wont tell you what that is. :) it freaks michael out and he grabs tova, then the 'schorizpic episode' strikes. michael was believable and we are amazed by how much tova trusts him that he wont hurt her while holding tova. he had to be screaming, falling down, hitting the wall, shaking etc. tova just hung on him, trusting him that she wont get hurt. such an amazing kid.
during the break, tova discovered a worm, wanted to bring the worm to sit besides us during lunch. YEOW! i told her no. leave the worm on the ground where the worm can eat. then she found a caterpillar. wanted to bring it into the house. no. so she freed it in the field behind the house. saw a bird nest in a tree behind the house- on our eye level. it was so cool seeing the nest. no eggs in there of course. im serious... this movie experience for Tova is way better than sending her to a camp. this feels like a camp with movie making experience!
