So What Did Margie Say About...Bones, the Blood from the Stones





I knowingly smiled at the 3/25/13 episode of Bones titled "The Blood From the Stones.
 
It is truly amazing what the presence of a camera will do and how different people's reaction to being filmed will range.
 
I don't know if it is inherent personality traits or upbringing or life experiences or a combination of all of these.
 
But just like the characters in tonight's episode, there are so many faces before the prying lens.
 
Some people are totally unassuming and just ignore the camera like it isn't even there.  Others are totally star struck and stare directly at the camera like it has hypnotic capabilities.  There are those that fancy themselves born stars and parade around in a peacock prance preening to show the world their abilities.  Some are comedians, some are hostile, some are neutral, and others are cold and avoid the eye of the lens.
 
Regardless of the reaction, I have always wondered what truth there is in the final outcome.  I guess that is the beauty of editing.  As it turns out, hours of footage usually turns into mere minutes of background with either subtitles or someone else narrating.  Gotta love Hollywood!!
