@larryteng
Thanks guys for making a Summer rerun a little more interesting. Time to hit the hay. #h50

@larryteng
@jazzsquare Probably being on that airplane for a bunch of scenes. Tight quarters but you can't beat the real deal.

@larryteng
Also love the looks between the core four at the end here. Nothing needing to be said. Its all in the eyes. #h50

@larryteng
Nice job by young Teilor in the ep. #h50

@larryteng
Kono's reaction when Danny shoots Peterson in the knee was one of my favorite moments in the ep. #h50

@larryteng
Another amazing scene between these two guys here at Ala Moana Park... Awesome watching this scene come to life. #h50

@larryteng
Great job by graphics with the Grace amber alert... It was important for me to keep her presence alive in the ep as they search for her.

@larryteng
The fact u feel for Peterson here is a tribute to the writing and Peter Greene's awesome performance.

@larryteng
First crane shot ever in #h50 HQ!

@larryteng
This is one of those scenes where u let two awesome actors have the set an u just roll the camera and pray u get it all on tape. #h50

@larryteng
Diamond Hea lookout was a great location found by the show's location manager Jim Triplett. Really photographs well. #h50

@larryteng
Flashback video was shot at the U of H. Many thx for their cooperation as well!

@larryteng
The camera operators did such a kick ass job on this ep... Mike Martinez, Torry Tokuafu, and Mark G.

@larryteng
Car stunt here was a Saturday shoot in Honolulu.

@larryteng
The Danny side of the call was the first thing we shot on the episode. Lot of credit to Scott for jumping right into the fire. Tough scene.

@larryteng
The McGuire side of the phone call was my first scene with Peter... His rehearsal have me major chills. #h50

@larryteng
Such a fan of #ClaireVanDerBoom.. #h50

@larryteng
I remember working on #Titanic as a PA and this huge rig to fit a 35mm camera. Now it's a Canon 5D in a case the size of a lunchbox. #h50

@larryteng
Meet our bad guy... #PeterGreene #h50

@larryteng
Loved McG and Chin in this scene where they discover the laptop. Thought they played it great @danieldaekim

@larryteng
This house that McG and Chin are breaking into was the Wofat house from the original #h50 series.

@larryteng
This dude in the mailbox shop was hilarious... Perfect casting.

@larryteng
Fong in da house! @briflys #h50

@larryteng
Scotty handled that takedown at the pool perfectly... One take. #h50

@larryteng
Painter stunt double hurt his foot on the first take of the jump... Dude was a champ for finishing the scene. #h50

@larryteng
Loved this location... A little motel right off of Kalakaua.

@larryteng
The poker tournament location is actually a members only lounge/restaurant. #h50

@larryteng
@debarouchi @theorossi He was awesome... A true pleasure to work with. And such a champ for getting dunked in that pool take after take!

@larryteng
Somehow we managed to get a steadicam on this plane.

@larryteng
I remember that day on Koko Head as one of the hottest I've experienced in Hawaii.

@larryteng
Two actors on the steps and 14 other crew members hanging in the thick weeds a helluva way up from everyone else at the bottom.

@larryteng

@larryteng
Very cool of #HawaiianAirlines to offer their cooperation for this episode... CEO Mark Dunkerly was a pleasure to work with. #h50

@larryteng
@laurengerman way to hustle up those steps girl #h50

@larryteng
Shooting on that airplane was one of the tightest sets I've had to work in. #h50

@larryteng
Flight attendant was a former Miss Hawaii I believe... Denby Dung #h50

Let the live tweeting begin! #h50 ...

Thanks for posting this NYCgal, it always interesting to hear what actually goes on behind the scenes. Also, did anyone else notice that he refers to the "Core 4" too?

[gbird]

Thanks nycgal nice to hear his view of things and yes Diana that "core 4" comment stood out for me too.

[debraluv50]

Maybe someone is reading the posts on this forum!

[Leni]

I noticed that also. I think that is going to be an emphasis this season. If you notice DDK, Lenkov and Michelle all pointed out the importance of the core 4 and bromance in interviews and tweets.

Well, that only took two seasons. Yeah, I know they've been talking about both all along, but after season two's self-sabotage, maybe they have finally learned something.

[jox3347]

Thank you for posting the exchange nycgirl. I read some of them last night but seeing all of them at once without all the RT's is appreciated! Larry Teng tweeted professionally and intelligently. He demonstrated that intelligent tweets can be accomplished.

[runner]

It's obvious to me that the cast & crew all realize the Core4/Fab4 are what makes the show.

[sunnyirish08]

sure it only took them two seasons.

deb, we know they've been reading the posts here. Not to mention, some of the avatar taglines have used the "core4" term. (Can't remember which of us coined it though.) Let's just hope they've learned something after all this time. (On the other hand, I did bristle a little at his reference to SWSNBN.)

nyc, this is pretty cool, thanks! It would be fun if we got more of this sort of thing.

[debraluv50]

That is wonderful news! I didn't realize that anyone from Hawaii 5-0 was reading these comments from us. I am so happy!

But that's a double-edged sword: we're an opinionated group and we don't always agree on everything. You never know what remarks they might take to heart.

[debraluv50]

That's true. We are strongly opinionated because we have love for the cast of this show. They are ohana to us as well as to each other.

[runner]

True, goldberry, but if they're checking this board, they're probably doing it on a regular basis, so they're not just going to pop in once to read and assume that is what everyone here thinks. They probably are looking for an overall/majority feel to our posts.

I sure hope so.
