Do any of you watch " Dawson's Creek " ?
It was a very interesting experience being
what they call ' background '.
Yesterday was a very long day. Cold, windy,
and a lot of walking for about six hours. Then
we moved inside to shoot the ‘PTA” meeting.
Several of us made a plan for that shot, we were
exhausted and just wanted to go home, so we
quickly got seats in the back of the room, in the
corner, thinking we could just mostly sleep through
it.
Wrong.
The Director moved us down the back row, toward the
middle, “ OK, now move over three more seats “, he said.
OK, I thought, we’re still in the back, no big deal, take a nap.
Then they brought in the ‘seconds’, they’re the one’s who sit
where the main actors will be, to take light readings and set
up the shots. I realized then that we were center stage and the
most critical ‘background’ in the room.
I was right behind Dawson, and there is no way they can cut
me out of that scene.
LOL, there were folks in the room who would have done most
anything to be where we were, and had probably planned to
try and get there. We did everything we could to avoid it, and
that is where they put us. But, it was fun.
They say it may be shown within several weeks, I don’t know.
I’m in both protest scenes and the PTA meeting. You can’t miss me
in the PTA scene, I’m right behind Dawson when he stands up.
