I was walking along the beach, minding my own business, when I saw a commotion in front of me. Well, actually the story goes like this: I was walking along the beach, minding my own business, when a very bright light nearly blinded me. Ever curious, I stepped closer. What were they doing?
Then I saw the huge camera, covered by a protective plastic bag and the star attraction – a beautiful girl dressed in a tight fitting red swimsuit. When I say tight, I mean really tight! It looked like a scene from a Baywatch film. I had to take a couple of photos! I have never seen people filming a movie.
The filming crew were busy rehearsing a scene where the girl had to perform CPR on a young man lying on the beach. She was really beautiful! One of the crew people spotted me and signalled for me to get lost.
I pretended to oblige but sat down and took out my telephoto lens. Now I know why I love this lens so much! I took a couple of photos but a chair blocked my view and I couldn`t get too close.
After about 15 minutes I lost interest.If it was Tom Hanks, I might have stayed longer! I was very curious about the bathing suit. It looked like a second skin. Later that evening I looked at my photos and saw huge paper-clips at the back of her bathing suit. Then I understood. They use it to pull the bathing suit tight and wholla! You have a super-tight, jaw-dropping effect.
I am not sure if this is for an upcoming International Movie, TV-series or local production. Either way, I saw something that I haven`t seen before and it entertained me for a while.
Have you ever seen them shooting a movie?

Whoah, so that’s the secret to skin-tight bathing suits! I would probably act like a paparazzi too, if I came across people filming a movie hehe 😀
Hi Irene, yes I guess it is! I enjoyed being paparazzi for one day 🙂
Wow, Nelieta! You got some stunning shots here! I’ve never actually stumbled upon people shooting a movie, although, here in Georgia, many films are shot. “Remember the Titans” was partly filmed at the middle school where I worked, the football stadium where I cheered in high school, and in a local neighborhood close to where I grew up. If you’ve never seen this film, I do recommend it! <3
Thank you Martha! Luckily I could crop the chair in most of the photos 🙂 I have never seen the movie and thank you for recommending it! I will see if I can get hold of it! Then I can also get a glimpse into your world 🙂
You had quite an interesting experience. I think I saw a movie shoot also before, and there’s nothing like seeing your favorite stars in real life. 🙂
Hi Joyce, it was quite an experience! I would love to see my favourite stars in real life. I guess I would go a little crazy!
Hello Nelieta.
Hmm…Baywatch revisited…lol. Now the secret of the skintight suit has been revealed. I bet the actor was quite happy to be resuscitated by her though! What an experience…you still managed to get some great shots! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Andy, yes indeed! I bet he was..she is really beautiful! Luckily I managed to crop the chair with the pink towel from most of the photos. I would have liked to get clearer shots of the whole scene but these ones tell the story 🙂 Have a great week Andy!
That’s true, it’s like you’re dreaming and then all of a sudden, that dream just came true and the characters came to life! 🙂
Now we get the inside story on the bathing suits!! Great pictures here, Nelieta. I live in Mumbai the heart of ‘Bollywood’ but still don’t get to see what you did!
Hi Corinne, yes I was quite surprised to see how they do it! I would love to visit Mumbai one day…it must be an amazing experience! I have seen some shots from the new Mission Impossible movie that were filmed there…so many people but so colourful!
How exciting Nelieta! I haven’t ever witnessed something like this, not even close. And I have to agree with you…if it had been Tom Hanks, or Mel Gibson I would have been a little harder to get rid of LOL
Hi Mary, I guess I was just lucky to be able to see this. I can just imagine how exciting a big Hollywood shoot must be! Ooh…Tom Hanks is really good looking!
Cool! lol
Thanks Kiley!
