Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (Behind The Scenes)

A huge thank you to Rex, the head honcho camera guy, what the heck is your actual title?, on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for leading the tour around all the cool stuff while we were shooting when the show came to North Carolina a few weeks ago to film. (Rex and I are actually discussing plans for a very cool new project that I’ll be sharing more details about soon.)

The actual show will be airing this week – so look for a lot of these scenes as they unfold on video.

In the meantime, enjoy scenes from a massively cold and rainy and muddy and oh-so-cold long, fun, long day …

(have to start out with these two cuties waiting for the limousine to pull up šŸ™‚

I protected my camera every way I could, but I never quite gave in to this:

Was interesting to watch the team run out, run back, run out, run back – get quite a workout at each filming!

Ty and the Design Team…

Rex, nearly always with a smile…

And Rex’s son, hard at work (quite an operation they have going in those portable structures) and some sweet ones with he and his mommy, Susan Ballard (also a fabulous makeup artist)

Rachel grabbed this one of me, quite a balance to shoot from where the operators were shooting and not achieve a concussion from the camera cranes!

The gorgeous Rachel Garrison šŸ™‚

The beautisimous Lisa Walter šŸ™‚

And that one guy ….

And the silliness during filming is quite a lot of fun šŸ™‚

Did I mention the rain & mud & cold?

From the show part of the show ….

See how far that line stretches back? We were all in a field in the pouring rain waiting for shuttles to pick us up, two at a time (or so it felt) šŸ˜‰

And a couple outtakes – why do Rachel and Lisa look fabulous and I look like I froze 2 hours earlier?

Thanks, Rex & Susan for such special attention šŸ™‚

    what great memories of a very, very fun, cold, long, freezing cold day!

    I do have to correct one thing and take the photo credit for that image of you near Rex’s jib crane though! I don’t get many of them, so need to grab them when I can!

  37. I would love to add if you do not currently have an insurance policy or you do not participate in any group insurance, you could possibly well reap the benefits of seeking the aid of a health broker. Self-employed or people who have medical conditions commonly seek the help of an health insurance brokerage. Thanks for your blog post.

  38. I just want to mention I’m beginner to blogs and honestly loved you’re web-site. Probably Iā€™m planning to bookmark your website . You amazingly come with tremendous posts. Thank you for sharing your website page.
