Just a brief moment of time

We watched The West Wing tonight, and we're finally down to the last four episodes which were shot in D.C. early last month. It was kind of fun to try to watch the extras in the backgrounds to see if I recognized any friends.

The thing that struck me most, though, was watching the funeral and cemetery scenes. They started that shoot up in Baltimore at 5:30 a.m. and it was a long, long day of shooting, yet the entire sequence including the opening credits and those long shots of the main characters dressing for the funeral was well less than ten minutes long!

I'm still thinking my scene will be in the final episode, but I'll be taping the last two, just in case.
