As all imperial Forces know the key to survival is to avoid all potential traps. So without any regard to our own safety, or that of our footwear we trekked off through the swamp (no where near the rebel (cough, scum!) Trap disguised as a 'track/path). Finding our way through the high grasses in armour proved rather entertaining. With the wide leg swinging making us resemble the finals of the Oxford/Cambridge boot race. At one stage we thought we had lost Hoppy down a deep puddle (Yayyy, sshhhhh .. ooohhhhh) but he had just taken off his helmet and rest it on a clump of tall grasses....when you can rest your helmet on grass and still pick it up easily you know its tall.
Next followed some Sandtrooper boys getting some cameo action filmed. YEAH DIRTY BOYS! And after numerous takes we moved along, moved along to the last location.

It was at this time that the magnificent talents of Muppet were once again brought to the fore (which reminds me, I need to give you my approval photos...lol), and he was given his greatest dramatic role of his career.
It was such a moving portrail that Hoppy attempted to emulate it, people were to shower flowers upon him. And it was if a golden rain..... Never mind...
About this time the bulk of us were wrapped for the day and headed back to the vehicles...
Once again the magnificent DIRTY BOYS were called upon for some additional scenes.
Hopfot then demonstrated his skills of pathfindery, and skipped off into the brush, appearing a shorttime later back at the second filming spot.
Maybe that sensible track was actually just that after all.
On return to our assembly area and in need of a change of clothes, a collective cry began...as if millions of souls cried out... " Oh no, the wrangler has our keys....".... After a short wait (hoppy break?) The rest of the team emerged and all was good with the world again.
After a quick chat with the director it appears as though there will be additional filming in march 2012, TDs! And after that time, when production is finished he may look at a promotional charity screening .....
The day then concluded with lots of wiping down of armour and drinking of water...
Injuries: some really nice armour bites on JAG (all those running retakes) as well as others... And some late emerging sunburnt faces (although Redav did bring his own)
Money Raised.. A Directorial promise to provide a percentage of money raised to our preferred charity at a later time. No reciept obtained.
