    The Hawaii Five-O Coin as I photographed at the ANA Money show in Portland before it was reholdered and name changed into a PCGS holder.

    And photgraphed the same day at the Portland Zoo:

    Along with a promotional photo picturing my character (wearing the pirate hat and standing in the background between Hawaii Five-0 Task Force members McGarrett and Danny on the rebooted Hawaii Five-0.

    With my "upscale car" parked next to the victim's BMW in preparation for the parking lot scene of Season Four's Halloween themed Hawaii Five-0 episode.

    The Ice Field Set during filming of the Drew Barrymore/John Krasinski/Christine Bell, et. al. "Big Miracle" movie.

    Recognize the blocks of ice above which are seen in this CGI enhanced screen shot from the film itself?

    Because of these pictures that you posted 1northcoin, I ended up going and watched this movie on netflix. It was a pretty good movie, thank you for posting pictures of it and the others or I probably would never had seen this movie, I liked it a lot. Thank you for posting all of these nice pictures that you post, I enjoy looking at them.

    Having just seen the Drew Barrymore/John Krasinski movie "Big Miracle" here are a few making the movie photos that may be of added interest.

    First, a closer up shot of the actors on The Ice Field Set as viewed from my office balcony during the filming:

    A daytime scene on the Ice Field being filmed at one of the holes being kept open for the whales to breathe:

    Snowmachines gather for a scene on the Ice Field Set.

    Drew Barrymore walks alone as she takes in the reality that the baby whale "Bam Bam" is no longer surfacing:

    Night filming of the animatronic whale on the Ice Field Set:

    Ice Field Set filming with Drew Barrymore evident in her blue parka. John Krasinski and Kristin Bell appear to be the two actors on the far right in this early filmed scene while a building on the set was still under construction.

    The actors gather in one of the closing scenes as they peer out toward the Russian Ice Breaker headed toward them to break the ice wall barrier. Again, Drew is easily identifiable in her blue parka and John Krasinski is positioned with her:

    As this scene was being filmed one could hear the cast yelling from blocks away. They are cheering the freeing of the whales!

    The earlier construction of the Ice Field Set including placement of the animatronic whales in water tight compartments over which the holes in the ice would be positioned:

    And months later with ithe the film a wrap, Dismantling the Ice Field Set including removal of the animatronic whales:

    Just came across this photo I took when the Ice Field Set was nearing completion. Above the set the pictured building is where my office was located.


    Another I just located from the tearing down of the Ice Field Set that was built for the filming of the Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski "Big Miracle" movie. Easily visible are the animatronic whales.

    Just came across yet another that I found from my photos that I took during the filming of the movie "Big Miracle."

    The Ice Field Set ready for action. Note the white felt draped over the top of the cabin to simulate a fresh snowfall as smoke escapes from the chimney. Structures such as this were built, some with wheels under them, so they could be moved and repositioned at different locations on the Ice Field Set.

    And speaking of felt used to simulate snow, here is a screenshot from the making of the Nicolas Cage film "The Frozen Ground" where sheets of white felt were also used while I was present on the set for the subject scene.

    And here are several shots I took of Nicolas Cage at another shooting location here during the making of the movie in which he played a detective bringing to justice a mass murder played by John Cusack.

    Below is my photo taken after the snow in the yard scene wrapped. The white felt has been removed, but I am holding one of the moth balls that was used as they were crushed to simulate falling snow that were blown by a fan just in front of the movie camera. FWIW, the pictured house is where the mass murderer Hansen (who would fly his victims to a remote area and then hunt them down) played by John Kusack resided as depicted in the film. In reality the perpetrator actually lived in a similar house on the same block.

    Actually the body is a very, very deep blue with black wood grain going through it. It looks killer.
    It also has a very low action which makes it very fast. I love it.

    @Jimnight I’ve been playing keys since the mid-80s. I love vintage keyboards but there is just something so personal about a guitar.

    Real.

    Being treated in a vet's office.

    Probably blows the minds of the other crows. :)

    Yes I would say so! 😂 I knew it was in house somewhere.

    For point of reference, the car seen in the screen shot was driven by mass murderer Hansen (played by John Cusack) in the movie "The Frozen Ground." Below at a staging location is the same car with the car Nicolas Cage, as the detective, drove.

    And here was one of the period police cars as it is positioned just behind the detective vehicle that Nicolas Cage drove.

    With this view showing yours truly standing between the cars driven by Kusack's and Cage's characters in the movie. The individual taking the photo was a movie extra who had supplied his period BMW for both the Nicolas Cage and Drew Barrymore movies "The Frozen Ground" and "Big Miracle" respectively.
