we met at 9am at the production office to drive to catawba island- about an hour and half away. the house was RIGHT on the beach! when we arrived, everyone zoomed in action to get the scenes set up. we was given a holding room, where tova waits for her time to get on the set. the holding room- two windows with the view of the beach. too perfect! of course, we opened the windows to get the lake breeze in the room. we didnt stay in long enough- tova changed into the bathing suit and just ran outside to play in the sand which is what s going to happen in the scene anyhow. michael came out to do the sand playing and getting ready for the scene to be filmed. we sat on our chair on the sand, enjoying the sun, breeze, the show happening in front of us. there were a bunches of people standing on the sides of the set watching the filming. some bought the binoculars. :) tova so wanted to jump in the water. jeff said fine, but dont get your hair wet during the breaks. THEN... when tova was all done, jeff asked how to sign "you can go swimming". when he signed that sentence, tova just zoomed out to jump in the water. :) during the break, some of the film people went swimming! There were several close ups of tova. im excited to see how it turns out in the movie. from what we could see on the tv screen, it s gonna be beautiful! tova and i joined jessica and tyler in tyler s car on the way back to the film house to do the last scene. tova became real hungry so i asked tyler to beep someone at the house set to get the peanut butter n jelly sandwich ready for when we arrive. tyler called, no one was at the house yet as we may have been ahead of everyone, so he pulled over and went into the food store to get stuff to make PBJ sandwich. jessica then went on to make the sandwiches for the four of us in the car. i think it was one of the best pbj sandwiches ever! tova ate TWO. she was that hungry!
tomorrow is the last day. :( we will be at the production office filming for the inside of the shelter. then we gotta bid farewell to everyone. it has been an amazing journey and if the opportunity comes up for tova to be in a movie, i hope we will have it as good as this one!
