00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 4: As a like a scene, which was different. Yeah, that

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,279

00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 3: And then yeah, they've been doing some shooting in the

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: main streets, so you know, I've seen Samuel walk across

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,120

00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: That's been been pretty exciting to.

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: See there was a photo online that I think was

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: the photo that we all saw. It was right outside

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: your shop with sam Miil walking across.

00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 3: So yeah, one day they yeah, one day they shot

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: him sort of coming from the court, the old courthouse there,

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,279
Speaker 3: walked across the road to the other side.

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 4: But he's very charismatic. You can you can tell that.

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: He's you know, an actor, and no one else has

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: the same sort of look.

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: To them he does.

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: He does, and then in between shots he decided just

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: to walk into the store shopping.

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: So that was excited to see.

39
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: You know, you get a bit nervous, you had to

40
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,720

00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: on done.

42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,600

00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, nah, I'm not in it. Sorry.

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: But there's been quite a few people from town as extras.

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: I've seen people I know sort of doing the walk

46
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: buys a few times and having to stay out late

47
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 3: to do you know, a scene and they get dressed

48
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,920

49
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: the you know, the crew, the piazz of crew. They

50
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: all set up their events and stuff with the sort

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 3: of at the back car park with the.

52
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: Catering and everything.

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 3: And I've met you know, makeup artists, the prop designers, stuntman,

54
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: the set decorators. So it's been pretty exciting to see

55
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: all the different you know people that get involved to

56
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: create the movie. And that dog trainers met the dog

57
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: trainer and yeah, just they're all really interesting. And then

58
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: I also met a couple of other actors as well,

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: which was exciting. So Chris McQuaid, she's an Australian actor,

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: Anthony Brandon Wong, he's also an Australian actor, has.

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 4: Been in the Matrix and he walked into the store.

62
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: So it was pretty pretty exciting. Exciting.

63
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: Now, I also think York is a good place for

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: them to do it because I reckon York people and

65
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: I've had some family live in York. I'd like to

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: think that, I know York, they would look after it.

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: They would protect the cast and crew from you know,

68
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: anyone that's oh yeah, pretty trying to harass them from

69
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: any other place like Perth.

70
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty laid back and I don't think many

71
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: people have had any problems with them. They're super organized

72
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: as well, so you know, the film crew are just

73
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: pretty amazing. You know, today they're doing that and they'll

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: go to that location and it's all set up, all

75
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: ready to rock and roll, and they know it's all done.

76
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, the crew has been really organized, which is

77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: really good to see. And they've gone to lots of

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: different locations around York, so you know Mount Brown up there,

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 3: Savish and House, you know, and lots of different places.

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: The courthouse, the town hall, so and York is the

81
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: oldest inland town in w A. And we've got those

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: really nice old buildings. So the coming really much. Yeah,

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: there's a few wildflowers starting to come in minute early.

84
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: But also we've also got the canola fields bright yallow

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: as you come into town, so it's perfect time to

86
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: come out this way and visit York. Yeah.

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: Well, like you said, they'd be wrapping their arms around,

88
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 5: protecting the staff and the cast and crew and all

89
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: the rest of it.

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: You know.

91
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I produced Greg went up there on the weekend because

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: it was an antiques fair.

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: To be had greigs. He goes by, he's in the

94
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: background of a shot.

95
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's probably doing. Sounds very exciting for you and

96
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 5: hap for the shop is a shop busier or quieter

97
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 5: than normal because of what's going on.

98
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: I look really it's the same obviously when they were

99
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: sort of shooting outside no one could get in.

100
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: Tom it's sort of the same.

101
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: But I believe they're sort of filming in town sort

102
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: of in three different blocks. So they lived like a

103
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: week last week now that they're in Perth to do

104
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: shooting at the studio, and then I think they're coming

105
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: back and going further like two j way into the

106
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: country to do some filming out there.

107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: So yeah, they do it in blocks for some reason.

108
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: So it was really sad on Friday night because all

109
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: the bands that you know, all the crewel and that

110
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: they all packed, they were left, and it was really sad.

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: All the lights left and then there was no one

112
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: in the car part the glamour with all the glamor gone.

113
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you see someone? No, I haven't research. Yes,

114
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: well I believe it's maybe on binge.

115
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 6: Yes it is, yes, yes, And so yeah, I mean

116
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 6: there's heaps of things on in York eaty way as well.

117
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,240

120
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,760
