While Chief Delphi may not be the most direct line to the fans of the "Twilight" series of books, there is likely enough cross over to make it worth my while to bring the following piece of trivia to light.
If you happen to watch the two newest Twilight series movies, "New Moon" (in theatres now) and Eclipse (filmed, but awaiting release) you might be interested to know that the cafeteria scenes were filmed in our school cafeteria... which, every February, doubles as the Trobotics robot testing area.
The classroom scenes were shot in our staff room and many other scenes in our school foyer... a prime trackball launch area thanks to the lowered landing on the library stairs that gave us the altitude we needed to keep the balls from bouncing off the ceiling.
There was some brief discussion on the team of how a super-powered vampire would respond to being levelled with a trackball, or peppered with poof balls, but, of course, we did not interrupt the filming to find out.
It was really amazing to see the transformation they wrought on our cafeteria and staff room and the film crew were really pleasant, which must have been a challenge at times when filming in the midst of almost 2000 students and teachers.
So if you're watching the movie, and you see some particularly tender or tense scene taking place... just think how much it would have been improved by the impromptu addition of a track ball.
And if you're a real fan of the series, you might want to check out the auction the school is doing to raise money for our scholarship fund...
