Film crew needs extras
Movie to feature KU actors
By DARRELL PRESTON Staff Reporter
A KU teacher student got a head start on his acting career last week when he portrayed a co-pilot of a military helicopter in a movie depicting the aftermath of a nuclear explosion in Kansas City.
Steve Grimm, Overland Park senior, said his role in the unreleased documentary "was a great experience because acting is what I want to go into."
Grimm is one of hundreds of KU students who will play roles as extras in the movie.
Filming of the movie began in the Lawrence area last week and should continue three more weeks, with some work needed on the KU campus after Labor Day.
Jack Wright, professor of theater and the movie's casting director for extras, said he was in the process of casting extras and stand-ins.
Wright said he learned of parts for which he would need extra two days to a week in advance.
A FEW DAYS before filming a scene, the directors give Wright a list of the extras needed, he said. Finding extras to fill the roles is done by matching
people he has interviewed with the director's list.
Any student wanting to be considered for a part should take his photograph to room 118 in the Lawrence Holidome, where he can fill out a form and talk with someone about being an extra, Wright said.
Gretchen Kehde, Lawrence junior,
got a job as a stand-in by auditioning to
be an extra. She stood in for child actors
last week and plans to stand in for them
this week.
"We filmed some families with children." Khede said. "I stood in for the children because I'm short."
KHEDE'S JOB is to stand in the children's place on the set when a scene is being rehearsed and the camera and actors are moving, she steps off and the actors step in.
One day the crew substituted mannequins for the actors and burned the manequin family to simulate results of the blast. Khede said.
Khede said she enjoyed meeting people and watching techniques used on the set, "it's going to cut into a week of school, but it's worth it," she said.
Grimm also enjoyed being on the movie set.
"WHEN THEY were filming the screamers wasn't in 1 set around and into a room, then it was in 2 sets."
Grimm said it was interesting to talk to director Nicholas Meyer, who directed "Star Trek II. The Wrath of Khan" and directed "The Seven Percent Solution."
might get boring for 14 hours, but I enjoy watching the creative process of making a movie." Grimm said.
"I always talk to people about movies, but it was a thrill to talk to a movie director about the movie he directed." Grimm said.
