After the first day in Las Vegas, we were back at the studios in Universal City.

Pretty cool, huh? So what they did was to put blue on the back of my hands. Then they had a rubbery piece, which was the swollen part of the hand. They painted it skin tone and blended it in with the rest of my skin. Then they had blisters which were on sheets that dissolved in alcohol. They took a section, placed it on the hand, added alcohol so the sheet dissolved, leaving the blisters. After doing this several times to get lots of blisters, they painted red around the blisters. And voila, a bad case of hives.

Rehearsal and the first few takes were all about mechanics and props – as the lab tech, she had to take photos, take a blood sample, etc., so it took a little while to work out all the logistics and the timing with the lines. I had it easier, because I just had to sit in the bed and do my lines:

I kinda think that if I were in their shoes, I’d probably hate doing it all the time, and having to take photos on set, which is usually considered a private setting, might be even more aggravating.
Acting wise, the scene itself was pretty straightforward. The first few takes and the master shots are usually a little bit rough, but on the close ups the scene felt quite natural, and Elisabeth was quite good. She knows when to do her thing.

Which was a shame, I thought, because I think being altogether on campus is a great experience. But she said that she enjoyed doing her own thing, and she had a nice apartment and such. She finished her degree when she was 38, and she herself said that education was wasted on the young. She recounted how as a teenager, she was looking for a simpler life, easier classes, etc., but when she went back to get her degree – and she was paying for it – she was looking for the hardest classes, the biggest challenges.
