How many of you have had a generator parked next to you that was strong enough to run a large hospital?<\/p>\n

\"\"

This was the generator truck that started at 6:00AM yesterday ( Monday \u00a0the 5th ) and ran all day until 7:00PM.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

With no previous knowledge we learned that a movie was being filmed directly in front of us.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The trucks ran all behind RV1 to past Cordon’s.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Wardrobe. \u00a0Another truck was makeup, another had showers and toilets and on and on. They were all supplied electricity from the generator next to us.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Meanwhile in front we suddenly had six sea-doos going back and forth.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We were a captive audience. So much activity. I vaguely recall reading within the past few months on the Isla de la Piedra Facebook page that extras were being sought for a movie. The turquoise Rubicon Jeep had been up and down the beach for a few days. Now we know why. It was actually in one of the scenes.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Various props were built here and there. In fact the first scene of the day and the last towards sunset were filmed closer to the shrimp farm up the beach. I actually walked there today:) And they were filming up there again.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Mid screen you can see the large white reflector screen, that is where the current action was being filmed.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This is what was behind the Jeep. The production crew catching all the film angles, sound, lighting, etc. It has been unusually humid the past few days. It is 90% humidity at 7PM locally at this very moment. Note the fan top right area.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

They had a bullhorn, sound boom, lights and all you could expect. I even heard the word “action”! Pronounced slightly differently in Spanish.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Despite the heat and humidity these gaffers had to move their lighting equipment all over the beach. The cameras were on huge tripods that moved in the deep sand.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Time to move the production “tent” closer to the next scene directly on the water.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This scene required the sea-doos to do their thing.<\/p><\/div>\n

About 4PM we went into our RV and were overwhelmed with the smell of exhaust inside. Instant headache. So Colin shut the widows and turned on the A\/C. Besides the smell, the generators were an irritation with their constant hummmm.<\/p>\n

What a special day for us to experience.<\/p>\n

There has been so much happening in the past week that I can’t keep up with the blog. Lots more to come. Life on the Isla is indeed paradise.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Last night.<\/p><\/div>\n
