Since this film is based in the year 1969, but it is a small country town, they had to dress 1964 ish. Luckily for us, Addy had this dress, and the wardrobe people loved it - so she got to wear her own dress in the movie scene! Addy also moved directly to hair and makeup, and didn't have to worry about messing up anyone's clothes.
.
Here is Addy right after she got her hair done. We are still at "base camp" at this point, and what we didn't know was it would be hours until they called up for the scene.
Here is Addy on location,( on a break). This is the "picnic scene" which in the book involves a KKK gathering. So we had to explain to the kids why these men were dressed this way. I have some incredible pictures from this scene, but won't post them until the movie is released. I just don't want to spoil the pure awesomeness of this scene as it is played out in the movie. I can only say this - it was a powerful thing to see in person! We had to wait until it got dark to finish the scene. It is unimaginable to think that things like this actually took place back then. If you are curious - read the book, chapter three. It is a place that when Timothy Tyson was six, his dad took him and his brother, Vern, to see one night so he could explain to them the evils of the world. (Timothy Tyson is the author of the book - a true story).
Another neat thing about being on location was Rick Schroder. He is Timothy Tyson's dad in the film (at least while he is young). We saw their scene being filmed as they peered over a rock to watch the Klan. All in all a great day, but a long one. Addy worked from 12:30 pm to 1:00 am. So she was a little tired, but was always on her best behavior, a real professional! I am so proud!.
Well Addy might have to return for another scene - a 2nd grade classroom scene. If we go, I will post upon our return. Thanks for looking!! Jaime
