Getting to hold the Captain America shield, is this really happening? Pictures and an Interview with Russell Bobbitt (property master) for Captain America: The Winter Soldier #CaptainAmerica


***Disclosure: I attended The #IronMan3Event . My flight, lodgings, and expenses were covered by Disney . Pictures provided by Disney. All opinions are 100% mine. *** 

As most of you all know I was very fortunate to be able to attend the Iron Man 3 premiere event this past April. I was able to walk the red carpet, see the great new movie first, and interview some awesome celebrities including a great Gwyneth Paltrow interview.
But this trip was much more than just for Iron Man 3. I had the chance to be on the set of the film Captain America: The Winter Soldier!!! Well what is the surprise, you ask? I finally can share it with you all! Well I got to hold the shield too! I was able to take a picture with the shield, yes the real Captain American shield! The shield is so well known everyone loves the shield, right?

My daughter is a big fan of the shield too…..

Sure we all love the iconic shield!  And I got to hold it, but I also got to see a set for the first time in my life it was wonderful.   Being on set was amazing, the actors really work hard, and there is a lot to do to make a movie great, one thing is great props. Before we had the privilege of holding the shield, one of the greatest props of all time; we got to learn a bit more about the shield, from the man who made the shield, Russell Bobbitt

Russell Bobbitt, is a property master, he has made props for many movies, including Iron Man, Thor, and of course Captain America. Here is some of our chat with Russell, a great guy with a very cool job. Here are some behind the scenes looks from the making of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. 

 Check out this behind-the-scenes image of Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, Co-Director Joe Russo and Property Master Russell Bobbitt with Chris holding the shield
Interview with Russell Bobbitt, property master for Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Q:  How do you design and come up with the making of the shield?
RUSSELL This is “Captain America 2” so I'm the first one to establish the, look of this thing.  In our movie we have four different looks because he goes into different scenarios, different missions.  And he, applies, different material -- Marvel materials that help make the shield stealth in different situations.  And so we have four different styles.  In theory in the Marvel lore, there’s one shield.
In this movie we have a couple surprises with the shield.  And it’ll appear that there are different shields.  But it’s only one shield.  That one shield I have to make 50 of them to accommodate all the different -- I have hard rubber, soft rubber, fiberglass, metal to depending on if there’s an insert on it I use a metal one ‘cause it looks the best. We were able to hold one of these great shields, we were given the hard rubber one to take a picture with, because of the weight, the metal one must have some heavy weight to it…

Here is a photo of the lucky bloggers who got to hang out on set, you can see me in the last row, listening intently to Russell tell us about the shield.


So why do they have to have so many kinds of shields on set? 

RUSSELL: We need so many is because we do different sort... you know, if he’s walking around and it’s on his back, I can put a really clean nice heavy one on him.  And when we photograph them from behind, it looks shiny and new like metal.  When he takes it off and starts fighting with it, obviously we can’t hit each other with metal shields or the boys won’t be able to play very long.  So, I make soft ones to accommodate this.  

This one that you’re gonna hold and play with it’s the hard rubber one. It’s the next to the best. I’m gonna give you this one because it’s lighter than the heavy, heavy metal one.
So here it is, my big picture! Me holding the real Captain America shield! This was so cool!
I was able to hold what not many outside of Hollywood gets to hold,  this amazing prop, a great photo opp that I will remember forever! I am am such a lucky gal! This is the hard rubber version of the shield Russell spoke about. It was not heavy as you would think, it was light and easy to maneuver. I felt like a superhero, so cool!  I am ready for action! 

Just looking at this great picture gets me even more excited to see the new movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I think this will be even better than the first movie.  I had to break out the DVD of the original Captain American movie, just to get even more excited!  And what did I see right away? 
 Yup, the shield! Just makes me so jazzed up to see the new movie!  There is  some more information I have to share with you all from the set, I can't share it as of yet... just make sure to stay tuned!

 We've heard from the time we were children that reading is fundamental. Being literate is important, it's very important. Being able to read words is one thing being able to comprehend them is another. The challenge we have as parents is to be able to teach our children to not only read but to be able to understand and comprehend what those words are saying. In my family I read as often as possible, I have a collection of books that are as tall as I am in my ready to be read pile.

 My husband is proud of the fact that his reading and comprehension level were far above average and it's been that was from the time he was five, books are a big part of his life. So being able to read is a big part of our family and it's something we've passed along to our daughter. She has quite the collection of books and she's read all of them!

The Buffalo Wing Turns 50!

Celebrate the Big Game with Frank’s RedHot!

Chester, NJ (January 2014) — 2014 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Buffalo Wing – a momentous occasion sure to be celebrated by sports fans and foodies alike. First created in Buffalo, NY in 1964, the original recipe was as simple as combining Frank’s® RedHot® sauce and melted butter. As the history books tell it, wings were seen as a culinary cast-off at the time and Buffalo wing sauce was created in a pinch to stave off the hunger of some late night revelers stopping by a neighborhood tavern. But fifty years later, this secret sauce still exhibits a flavor profile that continues to take the country by storm. It’s one for the history books: the lowly Buffalo Wing catapulted from basic pub grub to menu mainstay, all across America.
