Mail: How did the cast entertain themselves on the set?

 Another question from the mailbox!

What did the cast like to do "between shots" on the set of Ten Inch Hero?

Well, Director David Mackay is quick to point out that there's isn't much time between shots on an independent film. The pace is pretty grueling! Still, not everyone is in every shot, so there is SOME downtime.

So how did everyone unwind? We asked PA Cynthia Boris, whose primary responsibility was keeping track of the actors at all times. We figured if anyone knew, she would. And she did!

Cynthia Boris says:

Shopping was a popular way to pass the time between takes. Danneel Harris, Elisabeth Harnois, Clea DuVall, and Judith Drake all enjoyed shopping in the vintage clothing stores that lined the street where we were shooting.

One of our more crafty neighbors was selling hand-painted surfboards and he convinced Jensen Ackles to buy one. While shooting at Port o'Call, the actors stopped to check out rows and rows of colorful and sugary Mexican candies.

Next to shopping, coffee runs were tops on the list! Even though it was over 100 degrees out, all of the actors took time to dash up 6th Street to the coffee house for a pick-me-up and a few minutes of quiet time with the newspaper.

Short breaks were mostly filled with chatter. The actors swapped stories, passed around magazines, worked crossword puzzles, and listened to music. John Doe is a famous singer (both with X the Band and on his own) so he entertained the group on the van rides with a CD of his latest tunes.

The actors also got a lot of mileage out of toys they found in the local 99 Cent Store. The light up spacemen ray guns were particularly popular.

Sean Wing battled to be the champion chess player. Our youngest star Adair Tishler played games with her set teacher to pass the time; she doubly enjoyed hanging with the movie's canine star.

Once production was moved to the beach, Clea and Sean Patrick Flanery took advantage of some meditation time by the ocean. When the sun went down, Jensen and the girls would play a fast round of pick-up basketball.

David Mackay adds:

Just wanted to add that that Jensen, Clea, Danneel, and Elizabeth bought me one of the full size surfboards from that shop. A beautiful present! It is actually designed to hang on the wall, and it's a huge amazing oldstyle wooden board. It's really a piece of art that holds many large photographs, which I am filling with stills from the shoot!

It was an awesome present and I LOVE it!

Man, that sounds like one totally fun movie set to work on!  Wonder if Jensen played hoops while wearing his kilt. Hee!

Geez, I want to see this film so bad I can't stand it! Please let it come to a festival here in Chicago this summer or for heaven's sake give it a wide-release date!

You just want to see him do a jump shot and see if he wore it the traditional way. ;) LOL

I want a release too. Cause I want to see it again! Seriously. It's like getting a taste of something and NOT being able to go back for seconds!

You and me both. ;)

It will have to go to DVD at someone. I mean, Devour went to DVD right? And this is a BILLION times better. LOL

Yay! Us transparent fangirls need to stick together. ;-)

You know, as much as I want to see Jensen on the big screen, I'd almost prefer it if it went straight to DVD, so then I could own it immediately and watch it over and over, whenever I wanted.

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one! I mean, I WANT it to get to the big screen for HIM, but it's not a movie with major special effects that you have to see on the big screen, and I really don't want to have to wait a year or more to get it!

I wonder if there is a hoop set up somewhere on the Supernatural set?

[livejournal.com profile] momosanla directed me to an old post in tightropegirl's LJ. tightropegirl is the user id of Doris Egan who wrote the episode "Pollo Loco" (Ben's ep) for Dark Angel. The post is about casting Jensen in DA, then her stint on Smallville then Tru Calling. It's all Jensen related, you gotta read it!

Also, I don't know if you saw tinkabell007's Asylum reports but here is an adorable story she heard while in the autograph line.


While we were standing in the autograph line, someone in front of us complimented Jensen about his watch (I have no idea which brand it is, but it looked very fancy and expensive) and Jensen told that he likes it very much, got it a while ago as a gift from Jared. I’m not quite sure if I heard the next part correct, because we were standing a little behind, but he also said that Jared has the same one and just had to buy one for him as well. Yeah, that made me go all “awww” (silently of course, because damn, he was just sitting there and a very loud “awww” would have really drawn attention to me, wouldn’t it?! ) *g* But how cute is that? The boys thinking of each other while shopping? Awww…


Did I already say adorable??? Now I gotta find a good pic of that watch!

Someone at TWoP found the watch a while back (TWoP post (http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?act=ST&f=812&t=3132514&hl=watch&view=findpost&p=7888713), the watch (http://www.graham-london.com/index/collection/chronofighterrac2/chronofighterracblackfighter.html)) ... and another quoted the price at about $8,800 (http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?act=ST&f=812&t=3132514&hl=watch&view=findpost&p=7889463).

I haven't seen a really good pic of the watch on Jensen, but I want one. That's an adorable blurb you posted - is it too much to hope they show up to an event in the future wearing identical watches? Heh!

Go here: http://extremefangirl.livejournal.com/75178.html

and check out pic 16 for a pretty good close up of it. :-)

I know I'll be watching (pun intended) their wrists from here on out!

Thank you both! That is an excellent pic of the watch!

AND, he is wearing a little black plastic bracelet on his other wrist, just like Jared's! OMG, this is SUCH true love! <3

The one link for the price of the watch isn't working for me but this one is. It's a Graham Chronofighter R.A.C. Silver Fighter, $8,400.00.

Wow!

Is it only me who thinks you don't just drop eight grand on a friend cause you found a new watch that you really really like? Especially when you have dogs to feed! *LOL*

Wow, that is one serious honkin' watch! What the hell is all on that thing, anyway? LOL!

Ummm, that'd be because Jen and Jared are *more* than friends. ;-)

Well we're just gonna have to go to Vancouver and find out! :-)

Oh yeah, I read this a long time ago! I was totally facinated and it was so strange how Doris kept trying to get Jensen and he was just out of her reach. :-) I'm glad that the role on Tru Calling didn't work out. Because if Jensen hadn't already been on the WB, and them familar with him, he may never have gotten the role of Dean - and where would that leave us today?? Yep, things work out for a reason. :-)

OMG, for Jared to have never met Jensen?? That's just too sad to contemplate! Thankfully we'll never have to. Hee!

I know! But as of right now, there's still no wide release date. :-( I mean, my gosh, Jensen filmed this *last* summer hiatus!
