The peace rally at Lincoln Memorial was chaotic, but at the same time, it seemed so deliberate. Directing almost 2,000 extras to do what you want, when you want, all at once is no easy task. It’s pretty much like hell on Earth.

The number of actors that actually made up the scene dropped to 1,500. Thanks to the marvels of digital editing, they were able to expand that crowd to make it look much larger. It took about two days to film the entire scene and thankfully, it was very well done.
