When we are done shooting for the day, I'm not sure where most of the
people go--they just sort of disappear. I figure many of them must
either live nearby, be staying in a hotel, or really love driving. All I
know is that there are these dedicated people (who seem to work a lot of
hours) who either alert me to or drive me to the next train out. And
know just how many minutes it will take at any time of day to get from
the studio to the train. And know every possible route to get there. So I
get on a van and then a train, and I am home.
There are many things that amaze me about this OLTL/AMC endeavor--the
teams that are working together, the sheer dedication of the production
crew, the fearlessness of the performances. But I am impressed daily by
this transportation thing. Really. Not only is there a commitment to getting
people to the studio to work, there is a commitment to getting them
home. And while I imagine that it would be, well, awkward, to have a
hundred people stranded and sleeping on couches all over the studio,
that commitment makes a difference to me. And, I would guess, to the various other
people who ride in the vans and on the trains with me every day.
Sometimes it's about the little things.
And the big things with wheels.
