Well, he's he-ere. The Deppster has landed, to much generalized excitement and, it sounds like, some stalking. I think it's great that they're using so much of Oshkosh, with the initial filming taking place down at the airfield and making use of some of the cool old planes. Makes you realize we're really a strangely logical place to film a period piece. So things are still relatively "quiet" here in the downtown, although I saw a plane flying low out near the lake with a helicopter right above it, so that may have been film-related.
The downtown construction looks quite amazing--people were out wandering around (despite the fact that it's freakin' 30 degrees out!) and taking pictures of the buildings-- and of themselves WITH the buildings, like Disneyworld. It's kind of like we have a small and very temporary theme park with no dudes in dog suits. (And hey, Mouseketeers, this is no coincidence-- the whole Disney-thing "works" because they use lots of movie tricks and touches. Same attention to detail). Even though I know Oshkosh wasn't constructed with forced perspective, sometimes it really does seem that way.
Below are a bunch of pictures of our wee little 1930s town, and there are more in the full and on-going set on flickr. The pictures start with shots of construction and conclude with some local "welcomes." :-) Enjoy!
