Day 2- Call time 05h45

Day two required us to be on set before the sun came up and it was not exactly the easiest place to find; not even my new GPRS could get me there (which means we are going all out to create a convincing simulacra - you just wait and see...). It's still the second day so everybody's finding their feet and trying to make the machine run smoothly. I have to big up the production office for taking this task in our stride; the production manager is organised as a calender and our productions coordinator is keeping this ship afloat. We are not doing a bad job. Today's scene was shot in the beautiful forests of Tokai, with awesome, breathtaking views and pine trees - stuff dreams are made of. The scenes were shot indoors but it is the surroundings that created ambiance for a beautiful filming day.

The set designers did a wondrous job in recreating a sixties kind of house, with every detail paid fine attention to. The house in question was found isolated and empty and it was revamped into a dream home. I could have offered my left breast to live in that house even if it's for one month. So well done set designers and props.

There were more children on today's set; which only comes naturally seeing that we are recollecting Ingrid Jonker's life story. The kids that were here yesterday played Ingrid at nine months, and today's one played her at around ten years old. At the risk of sticking my dreads into an inferno, I'm gonna reveal the secrets of the trade to those who don't know, because I sure never thought of it - Ingrid at nine months old required the casting team to find twins so that we can interchange them should one give us a problem. Clever ain't it? These people have thought of everything to ensure the success of this film. I can't wait to see the final product. Second day and we are getting stronger; this should be a cool breeze by the end of this week. Looking forward to a rewarding five more.
