K from Kalama is back with today’s behind the scenes look at what it’s like being an extra. (Edited: Based on my emails, there seems to be some confusion that I think is based on our extra reporter’s screen name(she attends Kalama HS when not being an extra), let me explain. We know they are no longer shooting in Kalama H.S. but rather at a different High School where they are doing indoor work on a closed set. They will then be shooting some other scenes at other locations. I hope that clears things up.)
So here are my notes from today…:
- Arrive @ 5:00-ish, again
- More hallway takes… before 8:30
- Saw Rob’s backside on the monitor…clothed…but still
- Kristen came out of Bio saying(to Mike, and not verbatim, but close enough), “I wish coffee would actually wake you up, but it just gives you energy while you’re tired like… *shakes, like having a seizure*”
- More walking through the hallway
- Saw Rob up close, A LOT! BIG BLACK EYES!
- Saw Mike, he laughed(a VERY cute laugh) at something that somebody said to him, then the film had to be replaced ‘cause they ran out, and so he sat on the ground all by his lonesome… L He played w/ his “Crystal Geyser” water bottle… but a crew member came over after a while and spoke to him…
- Got stuck in a special ed. Room with about 15+ extras for 4(?) hours… so we watched Scrubs and played monopoly.
- Justin Chon’s double did the moonwalk, very well I might add, to his seat in the waiting area.
- Hallway scene after Bio class, when the bell rings.
- Saw Rob and Kristen joking with each other between takes
- Rob has funny, and BIG, laugh… BIG smile!
- A friend scared Mike by saying, “Hey! What are you doing in my locker?!” (‘cause we were using it previously), and he took a step or two back with a stunned look on his face. Then he realized that she was joking and did his cute little smile!!!… it was SO hilarious!
