All of the prison is "real", meaning no CGI... but everything is not as it seems. For example, a lot of what appears to be concrete is actually just wood with a foam covering that has been painted to look like old concrete. And like [MENTION=370]Bassman[/MENTION] said, there is a lot of wood used in the construction of the set and you can see it on the behind the scenes videos in AMCs site.

Another thing they did was redress the C Block(where Hershel and the group is) and use it as the D Block where they find the executed prisoners. When it is being used as the D Block, they have a small moveable wall that they use behind the door at the far end of the block so it looks like a hallway is there. When it is dressed as C Block the wall is moved and you can see the common area with the table, stools and suicide guard perch(the room where Daryl delivered the "Today is your lucky day boys, you have been pardoned by the state of Georgia").

These are just of few of the things that I noticed while I was "in prison". :Grin:

 

Sorry, I just saw your question! Yes it was before(I was an extra back in May) and I still haven't gotten that piece of wood signed! :zombies_censored:

 

Of course, he was in both of the scenes I was in! But, when you are an extra, it is frowned upon(and can get you fired) to ask for autographs, pictures, etc. I did get to speak with him(in his southern accent and all!) but that was about it.

 

Not much really. During a break he grabbed a piece of fruit and a juice and he sat down beside a couple of us extras. He mentioned how hot it was here in Georgia during the summer and that was about it. Then he bummed a cigarette from Norman and they sat and talked with each othe. I didn't mention it to him but he didn't say anything either so I don't think he remember me. Plus I was in full make up when I was on set so I looked quite a bit different, lol.
