Asylum Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hi. I was an extra in part of Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers. Remeber the part when the rohan lady puts her two kids onto the horse to ride to edoras - Thanks Juu ^_^ There was about 30 or so seconds of scenes that i was in or was there when filmed. Have you ever thought about riding on a urik hai? that was fun... one not good thing was on this hilly bit, there was lots of "spear grass" (very sharp grass thingys) although i didnt get very hurt from it, some people did :( the best part of it all was the end for me, two houses they built were set alight and we all ran away from the village (through the spear grass :() but to turn around when we got past the camera to see all the urik hai and these hairy dudes dancing around the houses like lunitics :P i dont want to think about how hot they would have gotton in those suits tho. i was there for 2 days, i think about 14-16 hours a day, (including overtime) we got paid from when we got on the bus to the set to when we got off :D and on the last day they gave me this big scar thingy down my face with felt really wierd but looked awesome :) also the food was reeeeaaaalllyy good. also the unlimited suplly of lollies. well thats all i have to say about it right now :) it was a really great experenice and if you have the chance to do something similar, i suggest you go for it!

Juu Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 [color=deeppink] [size=1]That's really kewl how you got to do that ^_^ I've always wondered what it would be like to audition for a movie. Even for a small scene. ^^ I'll be sure to look for ya when I go see it a fifth time. *looks over at Flashy* How did you react to this? ^_^[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Trust me Juu, we've looked... I don't think you can see him. We'll just have to wait for the Extended version, hmm? ^_^. I would've loved to have been an extra, but they didn't film anywhere around where I live. I wonder what they would've casted me as--A man, or a Hobbit? I've certainly got the hair for a Hobbit. o_O; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 [color=darkblue]It must of been great to of been an extra in a film as big as Lord Of The Rings, it's something I would love to do, but I don't live in New Zealand. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syk3 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Woah, that's awsome! You can say that you were actually filmed (maybe?) in one of the biggest movies of the year. I'd love to do something like that, but I'd probably break down laughing or something, lol. Maybe forget where to go, or just get nervous. Anyway, I'll look in a year when the extra DVDs come out! ^_^ ...not that I'd know what you look like o_O, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asylum Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 [quote]You can say that you were actually filmed (maybe?) in one of the biggest movies of the year.[/quote] I know that i was filmed, it's just that it goes quite fast on the movie. Once it comes out on DVD/Video i'll be able to see it frame by frame and i'm pretty sure i'll be able to see me in the background somewhere :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asylum Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 Well i saw an ad in the newspaper, it was for auditions in a nearby town. So my dad, sister and I went and auditioned. They had to measure our shoe size, height, all that stuff for costumes, then we got our photos taken. I was the only one to get in tho, maybe because of my orange hair (although most people wore wigs, except for me) and my Mum got to come with me. Too bad we couldnt take pictures.

Syk3 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 This seems like it must have been filmed a while ago. Exactly when was it that you were filmed in the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
