6:30 am call time. Wardrobe, hair/makeup, props, breakfast, etc. We all go to the set to continue filming from Monday. Many of the scenes involve horses, which pose some special challenges. Some of these challenges require major scene adjustments, so after a few hours, we are all sent back to extras holding. Then, a smaller group is chosen to go back to set to film a "special" scene--one which requires immense physical effort. After that is accomplished, lunch is served back at extras holding. Then, a wait begins. Many people are sent home early (like parents with their children). Others are asked to wait and a small group is chosen to go back to set for filming. The rest wait and wait. Eventually we wrap at 8:00.
