Film Location, Location, Location..... --- Day 14/176

Walk: TJ's, LP Nails

Distance: 5 miles

So, a young designer friend asked if she could use Ciwt's home as location for a photo shoot.  Thinking it would be a quick in and out and fun to observe, Ciwt said sure.  

Yesterday was the day; things started arriving.  Maybe 10 enormous totes with home accessories (most with $$$$  price tags),


coffee table size books, 3 or 4 tubs of flowers and then hundreds of pounds of professional camera equipment.


Altogether there were four people on the crew and by now Ciwt had realized they weren't there for a quick cameo.

At first Ciwt was interested as she watched her pictures being removed from the walls and many of her things being moved or replaced by the $$$$ accessories, books and flowers.  And the shots being lined up and lit.  


And lined up and lit again. And again, then discussed and lined up again. Still no actual photo taken.


As her readers might imagine, the fun was slowly fading for Ciwt who went out to do errands. She returned home to more lining up and lighting. So she left again to fill her time with more errands.  Then for her nails appointment.  Finally, at the very end of the day, the team restored her home to its original arrangements, throughly cleaned up and left Ciwt reading on her window seat. And so happy she is not a movie star who has to endure this slow, exacting filming process months even years at a time.
