Magoo did his first day on LOST!!! We had sooo much fun, it was an amazing experience. First we were escorted to his trailer on the grounds of the Hawaii Film Studio. He is obsessed with talking about the trailer, it is hysterical!
Once we settled in there we were whisked away to hair and make-up!!! If you know the Magoo then you can imagine this was the favorite part of his day!!!
Then it was back to the trailer to wait for the call to move to our shooting location. Magoo and Ms. Patrice (our nurse, nanny, assistant person) read books and colored while we waited.
The scene he was in was filmed at the Sheraton Waikiki in Honolulu on th 31st floor penthouse suite. I cannot divulge any info so don't try to twist my arm :)
If you look really close at that pic on the far right hand side is a woman in a pencil skirt and dark top; that is Evangeline Lilly. I probably spelled her name wrong...sorry!
While we waited to be called for the shot we played cars, football, Leapster and entertained people. This is Ms. Tiffany the production assistant assigned to "keep us in line" :)
There was alot of downtime while they reset scenes, moved props, etc. so the "Aaron's" played together. There was quite a bit of football and running involved.
Magoo's shot is of him sitting at a table eating. Well, all the food had been there for AWHILE and was cold/soggy/icky. He was supposed to eat french fries dipped in ketchup. The assistant director told me what he wanted him to do and I explained to Magoo. They set the shot and yelled rolling.....action! Not 3 seconds in Magoo is shouting across the room that the fries are cold! ACK!!! Ok, no worries. I tell him it is okay, just pretend, yadda yadda yadda. Take 2-rolling....action! About 7 seconds in "I can't reach the milk!" I'm thinking they are gonna kick us out?! Ms. Lilly (did I mention how WONDERFUL she is?!) went right over and adjusted the table so he could reach the milk. Okay, try again Take-3 rolling.....action! UGH, one of the extras messed something up and Magoo got it right! On Take-4 I told the AD that Magoo might do better if he could eat the watermelon that was on the plate. The AD said as long as he doesn't talk he can eat whatever he wants, LOL! So, he ate watermelon, everyone hit their marks and it was done!
Here is a pic of Magoo and Ms. Lilly post shoot
It was a fabulous time and Magoo said he had fun! Apparently it was okay that it took us 4 tries to get the scene done because they called us back for 2 more days next!!!
