Extra, Extra…read all about being an extra!
Posted by pelirroja - 25/03/08 at 11:03 pmK from Kalama is lucky enough to be an extra in the scenes being shot this week. Here’s what it’s like being an extra from her own viewpoint. You can definitely tell that it’s not all bright lights and glory, but boy there are some unique moments too.
Okay, here is the day’s, interesting, happenings…(yessum, I took notes! ^^)
- Arrived on set @ 5am
- About 8:30 the 30+ extras were told their directions
- While waiting for our directions, some of my new friends and I were Robert watching… saw him, YAY!
- We extras did our seven+ takes of a hallway scene… I didn’t get chosen to be in the classroom w/ rob
- Saw Mike… SO ADORABLE IN PERSON!
- More hallway takes
- Went into an auditorium to wait for more directions…
- Then we did more takes…
- Went back into aud.
- More takes…
- Then the aud. Again! GUH!
- About 15 of us extras were sent to a room to do sound work with Mr. Banner the Bio teacher… that never happened… we were in there for almost on hour w/ absolutely nothing to do but wait…
- Then they remembered us in the room and sent us back to aud. And on the way there we saw Rob getting up w/ his hand down the front-neck part of his shirt, I can only assume that he was removing microphones of sorts.
- Then we all went to lunch and I was right in across from Robert at the buffet line, and someone near me said something funny, and I laughed… he looked up at me funny-like, his contacts in, and then my new friends and I watched him for a couple more seconds and went to eat lunch. ^^
- Kristen, Katie(Kristen’s double), and Rob had a very good lunch together… they were laughing and what-not.
- After we got to our table… we saw Mike, and he was talking to someone and not watching where he was going… so he ran into a wall… we started laughing, naturally, and he looked at us w/ the most adorable smile and said in a very “stern” (LOL!) voice, “Hey! You didn’t see anything! ANYTHING!” while shaking his finger at us… it was sooooo cute!
- After lunch the same people from before were sent into the room where we were to meet w/ the bio teacher, we were there for two hours then he came in, but no sound department, so he just chilled with us for about 20 minutes… and “Tyler” joined us…
- (some extras brought skateboards) So there were like three guys skateboarding in the auditorium, and ‘ Tyler ’ was doing it too, well he didn’t turn in time and he ran into this weird fabric-pole-lighting fixture, it was SO hilarious!
That is the interesting and not so interesting day… the extras(except for those who were in the bio classroom) were only used for about 1.5 hours out of 11.5 hours today! But, I wouldn’t give up this chance for anything!

K of Kalama high, I would do ANYTHING to join you. (and if your reading this, please PLEASE DO) try to get something with Jackson… like a picture… or ANYTHING if you EVER see him (and ashley tooo! -so cute! together!) I’m dying to see another picture of Jackson! (with Ashley or without… but mostly with)
really? he’s hotter? interesting…..
Rob’s got to know that all the extras are DYING to talk to him. HE should have said something to you when you started laughing, like “hey, what are you laughing at?”
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. These are all so much fun to read about!! It makes me happy.
On Monday when we were at the school and saw Rob I thought he was really approachable. Glad you were able to get his attention
Also good to hear about Kristen laughing. She alwasys seems so serious! Keep those smiles coming Kristen:)
K, you totally deserved to have a day like that after everything you have done for us Twilighters. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself… but I do wish I could have been you for a couple of hours… even if I didn’t get to see Rob…
Oh, you are soooo lucky. I think I would have died if I was you. Rob…*sigh* But Mike…He sounds like the funniest guy ever! I love funny guys. Marry me, Mike?:P
I’m beginning to become a Mike fan myself, I love funny men too, so they are staying at Kalama then?
I was going “awwww…” throught out most of the post. All the boys running into stuff was kinda funny. Rather cute actually! I’m not a huge Mike fan, but Mike W. seems really nice and funny! I’m sooooooo jealous I couldnt go try out, and I live just south of Portland!!! awwww…. Well, keep up the posting! WOOO! Twilight!!!!
OMG!!*faint* Mike is so perfect!!!!!! He’s cute and funny. I actually think he’s much better lookin than Robert.
*GO TEAM MIKE*
Oh how much would I give to have the possibility to be in her shoes…… I´m incredibly jealous
(WHY DO I LIVE IN GERMANY ACTUALLY? DUH XD)

Wow…that’s really lucky…
No. Not lucky…talented. In your opinion, is the movie going to be good? If so, will it be up to our standards?
From what I’ve heard so far, I think it will.
Good luck with whatever else you do for the movie. I’ll be looking for you…sorry if that sounds stalker-ish. You’ll have to point yourself out. =)
Yay you! Go Robert! Michael is SO funny, and reminds me of an idiot I know. A sweet idiot, though.
Have fun STAR-GAZING! Get it? Oh, you’re so clever, Jojo…
just kidding. I’m weird. Not clever.
Mike is SOOOOOO adorable! I sent in my notes for the day, so I think they’ll be updated… all I can say is, don’t hate me! ^^ I was just lucky today. But extras are not allowed cameras while on set… and it’s really difficult to get myself to go over to the table and talk to Rob, we aren’t really supposed to anyway… and Mike is easier to talk to than Rob… not saying that Rob isn’t sociable. But there is just something that prevents me from approaching him or anything… while doing one scene I almost ran into him… but he didn’t, well he didn’t appear to notice. But *phwew* his laugh is sexy! So far so good….. OH! And I think, I have heard rumor anyway, that they will be reshooting the crash scene in Kalama on Saturday… I won’t be there though… unless they need me. And I saw a schedule for scenes and their locations…. I’m sorry Pheonix… it doesn’t look as if they’ll be going down there… but, if they haven’t already, it looks as if they’ll be in Cali. ^^ Well it is 9:51 over here and I need some shut-eye. TTYL, everyone I mean.
What part of Cali?? Any idea when??
)
K of Kalama, you are absolutely LUCKY! how is the cast? do you think they’ll do a good job?;p
Holy Carlisle! I REALLY wish I was you!
Mike sounds just hilarious and cute!
