A Saxon Feast

Posted by Shannon and Sara Burns at 7:23 pm on Jul. 27, 2007.

Today we filmed a Saxon feast scene. We constructed a large Saxon pavilion for the feasters to eat in, and the set looked really neat. Our extras were very good natured as they sat in the hot pavilion wearing heavy tunics and furs, and we are very thankful for their patience. One of our extras, a servant boy, played the pennywhistle for the feasters. In the evening, our neighbors graciously allowed us to use their beautiful cream colored horse for Amarillus (Kimmie) to ride.
