This is one of those sections where I can't be sure what bits are me, this shot definitely is but there are others that could be. http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tc0db.xml a767fb9f349f20ad87f4dd82cfcc6a6b image/jpeg 544 224 46741 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tc0db stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 Shot outside in the Pinewood back lot.

The very long shots like this one are mostly me (I've only taken stills from when I am very sure it's me). http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000te6f6.xml c3025527766f52d140ae06963352b094 image/jpeg 544 224 42640 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000te6f6 stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 The witches lair set was the only full set I got to see and it was stunning, built complete and to scale as you see it in the film (aside from the ceiling). http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tf9sd.xml d6657a638a2170bac9cba5f6f41812f9 image/jpeg 544 224 39084 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tf9sd stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 I love this sword fighting sequence between Tristan and dead Septimus. It was very hard to do as the stunt man playing Septimus (Rob Inch) couldn't actually look at what he was doing and had to dangle off wires to get the appropriate posture. http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tgp7g.xml 97cc8bf2f126c00d147cadf53fdc7c2c image/jpeg 544 224 42238 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tgp7g stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 My favourite section of being strapped to the table was the fight between Lamia and Tristan as I actually got to see what was going on properly for a change. It was a little hairy sometimes though, knives flying everywhere. The sequence was shot with Charlie Cox for his close ups and with his stunt double for the long shots. http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000thhpp.xml 5e279aa0a5bc9c85fc220c6ff63866cc image/jpeg 544 224 42294 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000thhpp stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 I'm in the top right. It was doing this scene that got me the job as Claire's double. One of the costume ladies mistook me for Claire in the crowd holding area. http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tkx0g.xml 79ef340983a9ed742c4ea6446fc94a33 image/jpeg 441 182 50940 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tkx0g stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 I'm in the top right. This was the only day I was on set with De Niro, as it was his last day of shooting. I did work with Dexter Fletcher again on my last day of shooting doing a short sequence where the pirates cross the gangplank with the box of lightning. http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tp20b.xml 9d02dcce7ee0741dce7a2111b2c442e2 image/jpeg 441 182 50704 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tp20b stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 On my final day of shooting we did a pile of stuff and I got to wear every costume she ever wears I think. I loved this outfit, it was comfortable and beautiful and the materials were lovely. http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tqr55.xml bf4d13d2d56bcadb8e70d868ccb79faf image/jpeg 400 165 40143 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000tqr55 stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 This was the second last shot I did (the last shot was the final time I did the necklace close up). Charlie and I were stood on a big box striking a match and lighting the Babylon candle at which point a huge wind machine would blow our wigs off. And seeing the final shot I'm not even sure if they used what we did or just cgi-d two little black figures. But I had a really great time shooting that particular scene, it was great fun. http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000trtzf.xml dfb590f25ce373037f2b855a38aefba1 image/jpeg 544 224 32696 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/000trtzf stardust http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/gallery/0000xxp8 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/0008rr2b.xml f209b93704ace91bec4fa8ec4e0c5e06 image/jpeg 581 663 87362 http://pics.livejournal.com/marysiak/pic/0008rr2b
