While on set we had the opportunity to meet many people.  It takes a great deal of talent to make a movie possible.  From the doubles/stand-ins, to the sound, to the lighting, to the props and transportation.  Every person on set is vital to the filming process.  Here are a few Twilight movie doubles we met on our journey.  Without them, shooting this film would have been very difficult.  We present our salute to the Twilight Movie Double…

See the video here.

The person behind Katie in the opening interview is actually physically holding the tent down.

"What does a double do exactly?"  I am glad you asked.  A double stands in place of an actor during lighting and scene staging.  They do not do stunts.  Thats what stunt doubles are for.  Doubles are often used in scenes where the actors face is never seen.  For instance in wide shots.  Doubles allow film makers the freedom to experiment with scenes without having to use the "talent" for non speaking, non acting situations.  Particularly with underage actors doubles become EXTREMELY important because the actor can only spend so much time on set.  So they have to use them judiciously.  And in the case of Twilight, the underage actors on set are great in number, which included Kristen up until a month ago.

I hope this answers your question!  *goes to rock out to Eminem some more*

Scullingonsquam has updated her blog to tell you all about her exciting final day on set.  But before we give you that link.  We would like to salute our fair friend Maggie! 

Ode to Maggie’s Socks

The waves, they crashed upon the shore
Taunting us vampire lore
In every direction we dared to looked
The water gushed from cranny and nook

We thought the day would be a joy
But clearing skies were just a decoy
The wind soon picked up the tents
Away with Dorothy we almost went

Up to camp the Director cried
Before the rushing of the tide
Alas the cries were barely heard
For shoes and boots soon were submerged

Up to our knees the water came
Rushing and flowing in true La Push fame
But what of our feet now richly soaked?
And our aching cold bones that now croaked?

Here lies the story of title proclaimed
For Maggie, the prepared, soon exclaimed
I have spare socks for your soaking feet
For she, like Mike, had packed complete

Into her Poppin’s bag she dug
In search things to make us snug
Out came fresh socks and jacket too
Then BeMyEscape smiled and knew

To Maggie’s socks gratitude would flow
She even gave them the name Cleo
They warmed her feet while others froze
She watched their goose bumps as they arose

By the end of the day the socks met their fate
For nothing can best the Portland climate
Not even heroic socks like these
That gave their life for an admin’s ease

So stand this day in solemn salute
To a girl and her socks who stood resolute
To help this fandom on its mission
And helped us survive the severe conditions

The End.

And now we give you…Scullingonsquam for your reading pleasure! 

See Maggie highlighted on her University’s website here!

Seventeen magazine couldn’t capture a shout out to the fans, but I think you will find what they did capture to be much much better!

A word on the negativity that has been running rampant on some of these smaller movie news sites.  There will be a growth of this kind of negativity from here on out.  As the movie gains momentum there are those who will use it as a platform to incite you to anger.  We encourage you to steer clear of people who wish to only cause you hurt. 

We know you love these books. 
We know your passion. 
We understand.

Library Journal hosted a small interview with Stephenie.

Gawariel worked wonders on her Live Journal and has cataloged all the screen captures from the movie!

And sites all over the internet are chiming in on the trailer.  They are all asking the same thing. "What do you think?"  After the well over 1000 comments left on our site yesturday.  I think we know!  Say it with me now…OMG!!!!!  😀

 Our Favorite MTV Blogger Larry has launched Twilight Tuesday! And as we promised, he did not disappoint! See the EXCLUSIVE Movie Poster premier (and in HIGH REZ!  Thank MTV for that one!).  As well as an amazing interview with Joey Lawrence the photographer behind the poster.  (no not that Joey Lawrence…the other Joey Lawrence!)

*Note, because people will ask, he’s signed on for potential sequels. Sequels aren’t confirmed yet.

Our friend Jed at tMF has launched part four of his series today.  It’s a must read Twilight fans.  This reporter is a true fan of these books.  Jed is also calling out to all Twilight-guys in the sound of this server, and making a few comments on the newly released trailer.  Check it out.

On another note, nothing regarding the international release date for the film has changed since we reported it here.  Anything to the contrary is a rumor.  We will let you know just as soon as dates are finalized.  But do not expect a date until late summer.

Hold on to your hats ladies and gentlemen!  The Twilight Lexicon is happy to announce and relieve your great anticipation…*drumroll*

The HD Twilight Movie Teaser Trailer Brought to you by MySpace

HD Full Size This version is a MUST SEE!

Non HD Trailer

Talk about the trailer over on the message boards. 

MTV’s, now famous, Twilight Tuesday will also be something much anticipated!  (Just not the trailer.)  We promise you, they will not disappoint!  They never do.  So tune in tomorrow for the latest installment of Twilight Tuesday!

Also new.  On Greetings From Twilight they have added a picture of shooting to the last entry.

*Clearing up confusion:  The official Twilight movie site has added a place holder for the trailer.  There is not an additional trailer going up in three days.  That is a place holder for when the site goes live with the trailer in three days.  Expect more extensive trailers later this summer going into fall.

One of our favorite MTV bloggers wants you to Video blog your reaction to the trailer.  So make a video blog of your reaction and thoughts on the newly released Twilight teaser trailer.  Then pop on over to the MTV Blog and read how to upload your video. They are going to share some of the reactions on MTV in a piece that will air later this week. MTV is looking forward to seeing what you all think of the trailer.

Tomorrow the Lexicon staffers, and probably the
Rest of the fans will
All be glued to MTV.
In our mailbox, we keep getting
Lengthy emails from fans
Excited for any type of
Report on the Twilight trailer.
Of course, there’s
Nothing in life that’s a total guarantee, but
Maybe, we hope, by
This time tomorrow, potential movie
Viewers will be very satisfied.

Read between the lines!

*EDIT: New Information coming.  Stay Tuned!!!!

Our friend Jed at tMF is back to good health and ready to continue his in depth reporting of Twilight!  Look for, not only, the fourth installment of his series to be out soon but also exciting fun articles that spotlight The Twilight Guy as well as the supporting characters from the series!  We are glad you are back in good health Jed!

Visit the Twilight Guy to read his hilarious chapter by chapter commertary from a guys perspective.

From Jed at tMF:

Hi everyone! Special thanks to the Lexicon admins for the support.

Yes, finally ready to finish our first Twilight Saga series. I really enjoyed the books, and why, I’m having my 2nd reading of Twilight, would you believe it?

The Twilight Guy and myself have been talking about his guest blogging at tMF, and it seems he’s getting ready for the ‘confession’, as we called it.

We also want to make tMF a site where fans can really have a voice, as everyone here @the Lexicon enjoys regularly, and with gusto!

December maybe months away, but so you know, the fandom has many ways to kill time and enjoy the waiting still.

Cheers!
Jed
