Walter was walking confidently along the street, the chain from the watch moving in the light as he walked with his jacket flicked over his shoulder, held by a crooked finger like he was on a catwalk. His hair was glistening with the soft drizzle as the world around him seemed to glow.
He stopped at the end of the lane and raised his free hand in welcome, smiling softly as he waved, then let it drift back to his aside, strong backed and proud as he looked like he was watching someone intently.
"CUT!" a voce roared "CHECK IT! MOVE ON!"
Walter grinned as he heard the cast muttering amongst themselves about 'one-take HJ' and what lunch was going to be. He headed to one side where there was Curtis waiting with a coat over his arm. Curt stepped forward to fling it around Walter's shoulders, worried he might catch cold in the rain.
From the huddle over some equipment with a grin "Perfect brother. We will set up for the argument in the garden between the children next. Imp will give you your cue."
"I can't believe he is willing to be involved" Walter said with glee "I thought he didn't want to go into acting."
"Well letting him do the new instrumental music to play in the background in some scenes sort of encouraged him" she grinned "And hasn't it changed things. His sound is so … emotional. And the hint of a flute when you are being all smouldering. Who would have thought you were a flute."
"Pan pipes" Imp said as he walked past with Ton "Pan Pipes. Not a bloody flute woman!"
"Listen to him, getting above himself" she giggled to Walter, who agrees that their gifted little brother was clearly starting to see why soundtracks were interesting and he wondered to himself if the next awards evening would include another Harkness-Jones for this show.
Walter turned to find Bruce standing back watching with interest and his smile split his face as he raced to him, grabbing him in a hug that had the older man laughing as he accepted it "Hey buddy."
"What do you think?"
"Are you kidding? This entire village is a film set. Wow. Look at that"
Walter turned to see some old Biddies heading to the local store like they were not walking through the middle of a scene and Walter laughed softly. Everyone still did their thing. No one even noticed what way the cameras were facing and everyone was secretly excited to see if they were going to appear in the background of the show.
Yes.
All the family were involved one way or another.
