Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club
Like with Pirates of the Caribbean 3, I was hired as a rigger by the rigging coordinator
Courtney Anderson. I enjoyed the work and especially since it was happening in Hawaii.
I was flown out and put up in the beautiful Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club by Walt Disney
Studios.
Working on a big budget Hollywood film is a surreal experience. It's like the circus coming
to town and you get to peek and play under the curtain where money is no obstacle... not
when the Pirate of the Caribbean film franchise has grossed over 4 billion dollars. I will
never forget watching one of the artists applying gold leaf to fake skeletons...in the brisk
afternoon trade winds. There was gold leaf blowing all around!

We cut it with our rigging knives and then the Art Department applied aging and red paint.
