So.. Kevin Bacon was on my campus last Tuesday filming the pilot for his new tv show, in which he plays an FBI agent.
Students had the opportunity to be extras. I wanted to do it but had other more important school-related priorities (darn!). Anyways, I did get a chance to watch them film for a little while. It was interesting. They had several large trucks and lots of equipment and so many people scurrying around.
I stood in the mob of people, which you would think would be primarily students, right? Well there were quite a few students and just as many middle aged women with their cameras out! Ha. That was amusing.
We watched silently as they yelled, "Rolling! ... Cut! ... Reset!" Although I never heard "Action!!" which I thought was strange. Anyways, I saw Kevin Bacon! He was maybe 50 yards away. At the closest, I was standing maybe 20 yards from him.
Kevin Bacon. A celebrity. I have never seen a celebrity before. I wasn't terribly excited when I heard he was coming because I only recognize the name. I'm not really a huge fan, if a fan at all, actually. But when I saw him and I realized that I was having my first celebrity sighting, I found myself feeling more and more excited. But not necessarily for him. It could have been any celebrity and I would be just as excited. So, like all the women around me, I guiltlessly pulled out my phone to take some pictures. At one point, he glanced toward the crowd and waved!! He waved! Kevin Bacon, a celebrity, waved at me (and a bunch of other people)!
So here are the shots I took myself as well as some other people took.

Waiting between takes.
I think he's holding a phone. Perhaps tweeting?
Filming.

Waiting between takes.
