TMI Set Report:
Day 26
Hey guys, this is
our set report from the TMI set on day 26:
I was biking to
school around 1 pm along a major street when I practically ran into the TMI
set. (Like actually, I almost knocked over the lunch sign.) I had seen the
trailers from afar, but didn't want to get my hopes up. Then I saw the “@
pylons”, which made me a bit more optimistic, and then the sign. Here it is:
It took all of my
self-control not to scream. I had actually found it! Well, not exactly the set,
but at least the place where they were having lunch, and I hadn't even been
looking for it.
I called my friend
Autymn (another TMI set girl) and started squealing something about how I had
run into the set. She freaked out too, and we made plans to meet after school.
(Yes, it was not
half eaten or anything haha)
Although, this was
taken after we had eaten a couple of the potatoes. They were really good!
Anyways, while we were sitting next to the church, speculating on which actor's
left-over's these were, we spotted Karen the publicist, or “The TMI Girl’s Best
Friend”.
“Hey Karen!” we
both called at the same time. Karen walked up to us, “Hey girls!” she said,
smiling. “Why aren't you guys with all the other girls at the set?”
Autymn and I looked
at each other, “This isn't the set?” we asked.
“No,” Karin
answered. “This is just where they have lunch. But it'll be over soon, so you
should head over to where they're filming. Ask one of your friends where it
is.”
I nodded, and
started texting. Then Karen looked down at our wrists, “Hey!” she said, “Don't
you have wristbands yet?”
We both shook our
heads. “We always arrived a couple minutes too late,” I explained. Karen
unzipped her purse.
“Here,” she said,
handing us both black wristbands. Then she looked in her bag again. “Oh no,”
she said, “I only have one purple one left!”
I looked over at
Autymn, “Purple's my favourite colour,” she BOLDY stated. Karen handed her the
purple wristband.
“Do you want the
black one back?” Autymn asked. Karen shook her head. “No,” she said, “You guys
have to collect all the colours! I'll have more next time.” (YAAAY!!!!!)
We thanked her
again for the bracelets, then she said goodbye and wandered off.
Soon, Autymn and I
found out the street name of the set location. It was just two major
intersections away! We took a couple more pictures of the trailers and set off.
We started walking
towards the first intersection, munching on potatoes. We turned right, and
walked by even more trailers and pylons.
After
walking a few minutes, we were lost. Luckily, my Mom is the bestest and told us
where we needed to go. Ya we found it! The streets were lined with really
pretty old, red brick houses. Then we spotted the filming equipment set up in
front of one of the houses, under the soft box, and huddled in front of the set
was our group of friends. (@MichelleMags, @nics_herondale, @whimsdoll, @stolethenight, @_DanilaMN) They
showed us the packages of cookies they had made for the actors and crew. After
a couple of minutes, Elyas M'Barek, the German actor playing the vampire guy,
walked by. He had this really cool leather costume on. Everyone said hi, and
Autymn poked me and whispered, “Speak German to him!” (I can speak fluent
German.)
I called out, “Hi
Elyas, do you speak German?” (In German of course.) Elyas looked really surprised,
and said, “Yeah, of course. Where are you from?”
We had this long
conversation and it turns out, he's from the same city as me! Elyas is actually
a pretty big deal in Germany. Then Elyas told me, “I have to go film some
stuff, but I'll be back!” The second he was gone, everyone crowded around and
started asking, “What did he say? What did he say?”, because they hadn't
understood a word of our conversation.
We heard someone
shout 'Rolling!' a couple of times, and then Lily came out from the set and
turned towards some tents. “Lily!” Rebecca and Michelle called over to her,
“Cookies!”
Lily looked
hesitant for a moment, but then came over and took the cookies and signed some
of our stuff. She had some fake blood on her and her makeup was really pale.
After Lily left,
Robert Sheehan came out from the set and walked right by us. My friend Autymn,
who's his biggest fan (other than Rebbeca), grabbed my wrist and squeezed so
hard I lost feeling. A couple people mumbled hello, and then Autymn called out,
“Hi, Robert!”, then Robert looked over at her and his eyes widened a little.
(Either cuz she's that pretty, or cuz she looked really dumb). Then everyone
else said “hi” and he answered, “Hi girlies!” and he was gone. Autymn didn’t
get her autograph sadly, but hopefully next time L
Elyas came back
after a while and we said goodbye in German; see you tomorrow and stuff like
that. Someone shouted that filming was over at that location, and everyone
clapped. Then they started packing up. Michelle and Rebecca had so many cookies
that they handed them out to random crew members, like the light director (and
the lady carrying the wardrobe. We also saw Madame Dorothea walk by in costume,
along with her stunt double.
As we were walking
past the house they had been filming in, we saw a glowing neon sign in the
window, a psychic sign. I freaked out. After the crew had left, we tried to
figure out where they were filming next. But the other girls already knew that
for the rest of the day they were filming at a closed set, so me and Autymn
said bye to everyone and left.
That’s all… for
now.
Hope you enjoyed
our report and follow us on Twitter, @CookonD. It is a combination of our names
(which by way are Autymn C and Dani C), so no one can hate. Bye!
