Day 3 & 4 Universal Studio's Stage 25 & New York St.

Day 3 & 4 on Universal Studios' Soundstage 25 & New York St. Finnegan's Bar

Day 3 :
Today we filmed the most tear-jerking scenes of the production. All the cast did an amazing job portraying and delivering the emotions the scenes called for, especially little Bailee Madison (Tyler's best friend Samantha) who left the entire production team teary-eyed. - tissues were in full swing on set.

However, Maree Cheatham (Tyler's Granna Olivia) lightened the mood when she seemed to be pulling tissues out of nowhere and handing them to the cast. Tanner Maguire (Tyler) proceeded to ask Maree where she was getting all those tissues from - and Maree replied, "From my bosom! Those are my extra pockets!"

Day 4:
Today was our first split shift of the production. We kicked off the day at 4pm on Universal's Stage 25 working to complete all scenes held in Tyler's bedroom. We finished around 8pm, then broke down all equipment and moved over to Universal Studio's New York St. to film the bar scenes with Jeffrey Johnson (Brady) - we finished filming around 4am this morning (05/31/09).
