Above, McConaughey and Strathairn joke around between takes. This is a rare view of McConaughey slipping out of character. He was staying in character most of the time and he physically looked different as you can see in the second photo. Below McG is giving direction.
Above, Governer Manchin showed up and watched the video assist for a while. Below, crowds of onlookers were always present on the Marshall campus.
See my main page here. More shots from the film in the previous post.

'We Are Marshall' Shoot Builds Excitement
Renewed focus on the tragic plane crash that shocked the Huntington and Tri-State areas in the early 70's may likely spur future development within the twenty-first century.
It appears that the December 2006 release of "We Are Marshall" will frame West Virginia in a very positive manner, highlighting the strength of its people, and curbing stereotypical views of the state.
This film will honor the Marshall University football players and staff that perished, and at the same time invigorate a sense of pride. It will acknowledge West Virginian's as real people and not fictitious hillbillies. Remember that the limitations we sometimes perceive about the state are not as real as they appear. I hope that this real story will remind us of how strong we can be, and help us to move forth accordingly.
Thank you Mr. Lee for providing a glimpse of the filming process, it certainly adds to the excitement.
Hi Reese... I was only there for that one day. I didn't shoot the funeral scene.
