The above is a picture from tonight's shoot for the show Unusual Suspects. I played a forensic detective. We were all extras since it was one of those re-enactment shows without much of a budget. The scene above is the group of us huddled in holding around the one light that was there and a coffee pot. The man sitting in the middle right was the groundskeeper for the school who decided to join us. He made us turkish/armenian coffee and told stories.
Yesterday I had a very different experience. I worked on the show Bones on the Fox/20th Century lot. There were at least 25 people hired just to be walking around on the street while the scene took place inside a diner. It was an 8 hour day and two scenes were filmed. Today was an 11 hour day, there were about 15 of us total including the crew and we filmed what will amount to about 50-75% of the show.
It is funny because I've adjusted to the machine here and was actually complaining a bit about the low budget shoot today, but it is on those low budget shoots that you have those unique experiences that keep life interesting.
Tomorrow I work CSI as a detective, which is nice because it means I won't have to change out my packed wardrobe very much. Friday I have something for Nickelodeon, but I don't know what exactly yet. Last Friday I had a photo shoot stand in job, which if you can get it, is super easy money. At least it was the day I worked.
I'm still fighting the flu. I feel a bit better every day and much better since Saturday, but it continues to linger when I think it should just be done.
The ratings continue to shift in the girls I could be dating, but instead are just on a mental list list, however the top contenders remain unchanged.
I am starting to run into the same people on different shoots now. I like it because I'm pretty selective of who I get to know well on a shoot, so I'm always happy to see a person I remember.
Home at 2:30am, leaving for work at 2pm. Not to bad I guess.
peaches and,
Chris
