the last day of filming was spent mostly in the shed. the shed was built in the warehouse... about 20 feet by 10 feet. see above picture- the huge white screen, that s where the light s coming on the shed door. to go thru the door, you ll have to either climb on the ladder or go inside the shed with opening and go up the stairs. you know the truck/train s big metal box? that s what the shed was. you can see the tv monitor of what s the cameras are seeing in the foreground. we were sitting on the couches, watching the tv monitor. it was one of the climaxes for the movie, we got to see some acting muscles in work by michael and jessica. tova exclaimed after the shooting of first scene in the shed "michael acts very well!" :)
tova enjoyed giving out the cards to the people who made a direct impact on her. :) jessica was so sweet- she got five dolls- characters from wiz of oz- dorothy, glida, lion, tinman, and scarecrow along with the dvd of the movie! melissa told tova the wiz of oz story before we started watching the movie during the breaks. she was fascinated by the movie! the dolls are now proudly standing in her bedroom. they are so beautiful!
whenever an actor is FINISHED working for the film, the crew always clap. so, when tova did her very last take on the scene, everyone started to clap, then stood up and clapped/waved for her as she was coming out of the shed. she was overwhelmed and started hugging people good byes on the way out. it was such an amazing experience for her and i couldnt ask for a better crew, director, interpreter, actors than what she had.. such a bittersweet farewell for us all... we will certainly miss being in the creative environment where people work together to breath the life of a story!
