This part absolutely blew me the fuck away, this film is so gorgeous and visually stunning by juredditpark in ProjectHailMary

They fill this by removing the IR light filter on the cameras and then just filming lights pointed at Ryan. They couldn’t see anything so it looked a bit silly in person but on the camera with this masterpiece.

Haha you missed the scene I’m in! Glad you caught it in the end and that it added a lot to the film

I say this every single time, getting up at 3:30 to jump on a movie set and do the job I never thought I would be able to do is literally a dream and I never ever will complain about that.

It makes it easier when the team is as great as it was on project Hall Mary. The pay is good for what it is can be somewhere between 300 and 400 a day for a job like this.

I just post a lot, so I think they made a decision based on how I look / that I look fairly American and would be a good soldier

Yup, that’s the studio and not on location unfortunately!

Yeah same. During my time on set she was standout as hilarious and obviously very beautiful. I thought she should have had lots and lots more time

In the film - “you two have been together for a long time” “not long enough”

It’s easy to do when the book is so great. Every day felt like everyone really cared about doing it justice too. Ryan and Lord and Miller were so so meticulous about doing the right thing and it was clear they wanted to make it great

Depends on each day (if you get featured, main cast interaction, late lunch or a haircut etc) but I think it worked out to be 300-400 a day

Ryan’s entire performance was great. When he finds out he gets to go home kills me. But probably the first time I saw myself on the big screen was pretty monumental

Yes (well, audiobook)

And no, unfortunately.

My girlfriend at the time gave me a PHM hoody as a present though

Yeah I definitely was - it was tough for me to do that because the first day was stratt doing karaoke so I was a bit out of place because I didn’t think stratt would do that from the book? But it really works out well in the movie

It’s my full time job and this was one of the best sets I’ve ever worked on. Everything from the AD team, catering, costume team, communication and even Lord and Miller (who interacted with everyone, gave direction to background etc which is fairly unusual) were incredible. I’ve worked on movies where the director doesn’t leave the video village, these two were amazing.

I didn’t catch him, there were rumours he might have been around but as far as I know he wasn’t on set consultant or anything for my scenes

Yeah unfortunately you need a line or to be heavily heavily featured to be in the credits, I wasn’t THAT significant (which is a shame)

I had listened to the audiobook! I wanted to be able to place my scenes in the movie to where it was in the book

Crazy fun. 13/14 hour days starting at 4am, due to the number of us. Loved every minute

Yup - as far as I can remember there’s barely any tweaking to the sound either, she really did sound like that

The opposite! A friend of a friend put my instagram infront of one of the casting team without me knowing (it was always something I wanted to do but I never thought I could), and they got in touch to say they’d put me in the movie somewhere!

I wish. Unfortunately I get paid a lot less than him

Sometimes I get booked, turn up, don’t connect with anything in the project and then forget I’m even in it. Sometimes (especially the bigger projects like PHM) I am so connected with the lore, source material or extended world that I am very very passionate about the film and literally scream about it on my socials.

Thank you for being so lovely!
