I don't know why, but I always find it exciting to stumble upon a film crew or a set.Largest gemstone beads and jewelry making supplies at wholesale prices. There's something cool about getting a first-hand glimpse of the smoke and mirrors employed to summon movie magic. I like walking behind a set and seeing all the wooden planks holding it up. It always reminds me of a Terry Gilliam cartoon or that bit at the end of Blazing Saddles.
Like most passions, my love of movie sets can be traced back to a vivid childhood experience. When I was four years old, my family took me to the Greek island of Corfu for a holiday. One day, we saw people building a fake villa on the local beach. It was fascinating. From the front it looked like an idyllic Greek beach villa, but behind you could see it was just propped up with wood. The plants on the fake verandah were made of plastic and stapled to the fake wall. It was awesome and blew my four-year-old mind. The fact that I can remember all this so vividly after more than three decades shows that the experience clearly made an impression.
Then, one morning, the beach around the fake villa was covered in tyre tracks swerving through the sand in dramatic fashion. I remember spending the day running around in the tracks on the beach. Later, when they took the villa down, my sister was given some of the plastic plants from the verandah. The plastic plants, complete with flowers, were a fixture in her bedroom for many years to come, but in the end they went to that mysterious place where treasured childhood possessions go, along with all the Star Wars figures and Mr Men books.
It was only later that we realised the villa was a set for the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only. It took a long time for films to make it on to television in those days, so it was years later when I finally saw the film. There was the villa that we watched them build, there were the flowers that were now on my sister's wall and I finally got to see how those tracks were made in the sand.
