Tonight He Comes - Hospital Worker - Day 2

I had the same call time of 6:00 PM and since it was friday, made sure to leave early enough to battle rush hour traffic. After getting there, went through wardrobe and was taken to set. They were going to do another jumping stunt with the cranes and something with a bus. But first they did a helicopter shot of the building ... Mercer General (the building that Will Smith's character jumps out of). They had all the background set in the plaza just before the entrance of the building and when the called "action", the helicopter showed up. We walked around the plaza for around 15 minutes while the helicopter hovered from different angles. It was a cool shot to be a part of and pretty cool because you didn't have to worry about where the camera was or staying quiet. We just walked and talked for 15 minutes. They also had a camera on the roof and the next shot was shooting straight down at the plaza while we "evacuated" the building. Most of the scenes that were done these 2 nights, I was in the deep background, but it was really cool to be a part of and to see everything that went into shots like these. Except for the lack of sleep, I'm glad I was a part of it all.
Here are some pictures I took from the second night. My camera is not that great in the dark and the batteries were low, so I apologize for the quality.

This was the building they used as "Mercer General". I think it's actually the CalTrans building in down town LA. It has some really cool and strange architecture.

Same building with the sign they made out front. It looked like it was made of cement blocks and was a permanent fixture, but that's the magic of film. Just about everyone went up to it to feel it and knock on it. I think it was simply made of wood with some textured paint to look like cement.

This is part of the set. Those giant lights are what they use to turn night into day. They are actually big balloons hanging from cranes. In another shot they had them lower and kept them floating by tethering them to the ground.

I find that when I work on location, I usually see something that I normally wouldn't see just driving around. This is a sign that was near to the set that shows all the sister cities of Los Angeles. I thought it was pretty cool.
