Farewell Atlantis Experience

Nov 22nd, 2008 by Alan Yu

I’m assuming at this point that I probably won’t be needed for this film again, so I thought I would wrap up an overall thought of my experience on this set. The hours were not for the weak of heart that’s for sure as on average everyday was almost 15 hours of work. This set had the most amount of Asian people I have seen due to the nature of the movie as you can see from this crammed up tent area.

Long hours meant that most people were not able to get enough sleep. For example, one day we started at 9am and wrapped up at midnight only to come back at 9am the next day and end at 1am. One of my friends was actually working on this movie as well and as you can see he was one tired lump of clay during the last day.

The working conditions for this film was the harshest I have been on personally. People getting soaked in pools of water, endless amount of running and not to mention the windy conditions to get to and from set during the last few days. Although, one person told me this was nothing like the filming of X-men that took place here as apparently that was a nightmare with people freezing outside in the cold.

Like always, I met new people and have fun with it. As I mentioned before, this is one movie that I am very interested in seeing how it turns out from a technical standpoint since it looks like a lot of computer graphics will be used. Time to focus on the acting again.
