I called the infomation line and heard that Damien's call time would be at 7am. That's early! We would need to get up at 4am. It took us 2 hours to get to Paramount Studios. I'm always surprised to see how many cars are in the parking garage that early in the morning.
Today was a confusing day. They were shooting in Studio 17 and holding for the parents was in Studio 18 (where part of CWW was shot). That is a huge holding area and it was freezing. Damien is out of school for the summer and a few other kids were also out of school. They waited with us while all the others (about20 students) went to school. It seemed like a long wait but they finally took the kids from holding and the school to film.
Most of the productions seem to have their own golf carts to get around. I spotted the EHC carts and had a good laugh!
I went inside to check out the set but it was surrounded by walls. There would be flashback scenes so there were several different sets. Damien and the others seemed to be gone for hours. When he finally returned he was very excited because they had sat him next to Chris in the school and he knew he'd be on camera. But not much later we learned that there was a problem with lighting and the scene would be reshot. They took only half the kids this time, Damien not included.
Though Damien was called onto the set a few more times, he was always waiting by the side and never actually filmed. He was a little disappointed at the end of the day.
While sitting in holding another Mom and I began chatting with a Dad of one of the child actors. Turns out his son worked as a surfer on Surfer Dude and also the Dad himself dressed up as Madonna for a funny scene with Kevin James in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. That will be fun to see.
Damien's haircut for Surfer Dude.
Well, it was a long day for Damien and he really made no new friends this day. He was teased about his hair but what the boys didn't know is his hair needs to stay this way till they are done with him on Surfer Dude.
When Damien was leaving they asked him back tomarrow and he agreed. We got home at 10pm, ate dinner and now off to bed. Up at 5am for a 7am call tomorrow.
