I was also an extra playing a photographer in Talladega Nights. Was on set for two days. On the first day, they gave a bunch of us real disposable cameras as props (because this was 2006, and it was probably cheaper to just buy a bunch of them instead of making fake or prop disposable cameras). The cameras had film in them, and so I (and a bunch of people) just took a bunch of real pictures from the set. They never asked for the cameras back, so we just took them home and got the film developed. Immediately, behind-the-scenes pics showed up on websites, so Sony said no more disposable cameras going forward. But that's the only reason why I have photographic evidence that I really was on set for that movie, because I'm not really visible in the actual movie.
