Last summer I was introduced to Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and went for days neglecting my kids as I devoured the series. What a fun love story. Imagine the surprise and excitement that circulated when our little town was chosen as one of the filming sites. People were abuzz with Bella, Edward and Jacob sitings. Many of my friends enjoyed hours of fun peeking inside Charlie's house, evaluating the character's cars (stars in their own right) and taking pictures with the cast and crew of the upcoming movie.
When my friend, Rochelle won a local radio contest to be a VIP guest on the Twilight set we were on excitement overload! A group of us decided to head downtown to see if we could catch a glimpse of Rochelle and Paige frolicking with the stars! We were perched up on a hill wishing we were a tad bit closer to the action when a friend of ours from the ward, who is a local police officer in town and who just happened to be on duty that night providing extra security for the set, waved us down to tell us the good news...He had 'hooked us up'! He had made friends with the assistant director, T. Coe, who gave him permission to bring us up close and personal.
EEEEEKKKKK!
We were right in the middle of everything...producers, camera people, lighting techs and of course the stars (we saw Bella and Edward on set) and their doubles. We watched as they filmed the scene where Bella is confronted by a group of drunk frat boys in Port Angeles. It will probably take up about 2 or 3 minutes in the movie but the scene took more than 2 hours to film. I found the technical side of filming a movie to be extremely fascinating.
Midway through our once in a lifetime experience I turned to my friend, Aundrea and whispered, "I'm really trying to remain calm and composed here but on the inside I feel like a 15 year-old school girl!" I was so freakin' excited!
(This is my giddy look!) He He!
What a fun adventure with my girlfriends!
A night I won't soon forget :)
