Hawaii Five-0: "Actress for a Day" - Ramsay Behind the Scenes
Email: rwharton@hawaiinewsnow.comHonolulu (HawaiiNewsNow) - It's the afternoon of August 30, 2011 when I arrive at Base Camp, set up along University Avenue in the parking lot of the old Varsity Theatre located behind the Burger King.
This is where everyone meets, and its my first big day on the set of Hawaii Five-0. It is the hottest show on television, and everyone from local talent to big name stars wants to be on CBS' Hawaii Five-0.
After several auditions through my agent, my time had finally come. And before any shooting starts on any episode, everyone has to come here to Base Camp first.
I am greeted by head of Base Camp, Jason Gutierrez, the show's additional 2nd AD.
"I'm in charge of when the actors arrive, getting them through hair and makeup and wardrobe and communicating with set and when they'll need them," he said.
When I worked my way toward the back of Base Camp, which changes locations regularly, it was very exciting to see all the trailers lined up and I wondered which big name stars might be inside. Actor Daniel Dae Kim, who plays the popular Chin Ho Kelly, walked up to say hi and joked with me that I shouldn't have any problem playing a reporter. Soon after, I watched as actor Alex O'Laughlin ran by and jumped into a van to be rushed up to the set to shoot his scene.
Q&A: Friendly Fires talks new album, tour dates
EG: We’re recording new stuff, but I don’t think it’s going to be for album three. For the U.K. tour we’ve got this awesome guy called SBTRKT supporting us, and we’ve played with him a few times in Europe before, so we’re just trying to do a song together so we can hopefully get it nailed in time to put it out with a limited release for the tour or something. We’ve also been trying to finish a track with Andrew Weatherall , and that’s finally coming together. I don’t know what we’re going to do with it, since we’re a week away from touring with it. We’ve never really stopped, we just like to make music. That’s our idea of a holiday anyway. We just pleaded with him to do a track with us and it’s finally coming to a point.DT: What’s the production process like for you guys?
