‘Quantum of Solace’ – Official Blog Reports #3 And #4
Discussions with Panama extras casting director Ana Endara and 2nd AD Toby Hefferman
Written by Devin Zydel on 15 Apr, 2008
The official Quantum of Solace blog has been updated with two new video interviews with crew members from the 22nd James Bond film.
The first of the two new interviews is with Ana Endara, the extras casting director in Panama.
Endara discusses how she first contacted the Bolivian Embassy upon learning the country would be featured in the film. She also mentions casting some of the extras from an indigenous tribe in Panama and the process they must go through in getting to the set each day.
The second interview is with 2nd assistant director Toby Hefferman.
On set in Panama, Heffman explains that he works alongside the first AD in coordinating the backround, cars and other crew members.
‘We get up early and get in a few hours before call,’ he says. ‘Get actors, extras and everything ready. Throughout the day, it’s very diverse. From one scene it can be 750 extras like we’re doing now or it can be two actors doing nothing in a room, but each have their complications.
