Call time @ 9am
We were filming around Surrey Central area, which was really cool because I spent my 4 years at SFU Surrey there. I didn't know much about the film and the storyline (as usual), I was basically just a passerby on streets outside "FBI building" and a passenger at "airport". Director was Gary Harvey.
The basic story is like this:
"Based on the true story of Tiffany Rubin (Henson) and the daring rescue of her six-year-old son, Kobe, after he was abducted by his biological father and taken from his home in Queens, New York
, all the way to Seoul, South Korea. With the help of Mark Miller (O'Quinn) and his charitable organization The American Association for Lost Children, Tiffany was able to travel to Korea to execute a high-stakes plan to bring her son home."
As the we were waiting for the set to be ready, I saw this guy sitting on this "airport waiting area chair" who looked SOOO familiar. O.M.G! It was LOCK from LOST!!! I can't say that he was my favourite character in LOST but OMG it's my favourite show and I was lucky to see one of the main characters in real life!! I was so excited like I was never before!! I usually don't recognize any characters. But this time I recognized this guy that is from my favourite TV show. I was SO happy! I could only stare at him since i was working as a background, so I couldn't ask to take photos and ask for autograph like other people did!! I was damn jealous!!! ARG!!
Anyway :( back to work.
It was great to go back to my lovely surrey campus!
It was funny how the SFU mezzanine became the "airport", where the "son" with his "mom" meet their "granny". They had this shot outside the open lab, beside Blenz coffee, in front of the escalator. I was standing just in front of it beside a couple "airport security guards" pretending I was waiting for someone to come out from the terminal. Pretty cool to actually see the scene right in front of me. I usually don't get to see much since I often get placed far away from the camera. I don't really mind because it's less stressful :P
"CUT!" called from the director, Lock was in front of me and a couple of security guards and said "well, looks like the people you're waiting to come aint coming at all" in Lock's tone and voice!! To me, he was just like Lock and sounded like Lock and reminds me the good times of LOST. Aww I miss LOST so much...
There was this female actress that's from another movie called "Benjamin Button". I didn't recognize her until someone pointed it out to me. She played Benjamin's mom in that movie. She looked pretty, friendly and quite fit, to.
It was a 6.5 hour day. Not too bad, I like to keep it short though some people like 12~16 hours days for the overtime/double time pay. But I think it's way too long. Anyway, another great film shoot experience this year. I have a night shoot tomorrow in Langley. Hopefully it will be a good one too!
