Seriously. I was in that booth, just past the pretty woman from Plainfield who I next saw in the episode of CHICAGO PD that I mentioned filming in the last post. But it was fun sitting there eating my hash browns for five hours and watching the booths and people get jostled around. I memorized the dialogue of the actors, they had to do several takes, then do several more when people were switched around, and again when booths were moved and new camera angles were set up. I got paid for my time, but I really enjoy the process. The entire scene lasted about three minutes at the opening of the show. Six hours and sixty people for three minutes.
I remember one time when we spent two days shooting for a three minute material. Six hours and sixty people sounds about right. It's all ridiculously elaborate. But enjoyable like little else :)
