The
Air Force Times reports that on August 15th Dreamworks held a casting call at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico for extras. All told about 300 airmen showed up for the casting call. Exactly when Transformers 2 production comes to the base is unknown but it was used before in Transformers as part of the Blackout attack sequence.
“About 200 people will be hired as extras to portray military members,” Maryellen Aviano, extras casting coordinator for DreamWorks Pictures, said in an Air Force news release.
Airmen were more than happy to spend off-duty time in front of a camera.
“The thrill of knowing I may be in a movie outweighs the possibility of having to work long hours on a movie set,” said Airman 1st Class Karla Jimenez, 49th Civil Engineer Squadron.

ReplyDeleteI've heard military people are very good as extras, cause they know about discipline and are happy to be in front of the camera, they're not here just for the money or because they think they're the next big star...
ReplyDeleteAs a civilian engineer, I've had the pleasure of working with military engineers or reserve military and I must say they are extremely disciplined and follow orders to a T, meaning doing exactly what you tell them to do and they will never ever complain.
ReplyDeleteI imagine when working on an entertainment project, they'll never break from being excellent role models for the military doing exactly what is expected of them. That's probably why Michael Bay loves them so much because they'll do all those stunt shots with no problems.
All hail megatron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot to nit pick you, but it is spelled Holloman.
