Not much to report...

Not much going on. Haven't worked on anything because I'm trying to get my big list of "things to do" narrowed down. Signed up with LACasting 2 days ago under my new agent and am in the process of getting my 300 copies of my headshot. I hope to work more next week. I hope to get everything I need to get finished this week.

The Gifties

I got to work on my first commercial this past week. Just as a non union extra but the pay was decent. 2 days on Old Navy ... I'm guessing it's one of their new holiday commercials. Mostly it was boring work, especially the first day because they barely used us. I was a "fan" and it was set up to be like the red carpet outstide the oscars or grammies (get it? ... gifties =P). So we were standing in some bleachers pretending to cheer for the celebrities that were coming out of the limo onto the red carpet ... and the celebrities were the boycut jeans. ;) All in all it was cool to get my first taste of what it's like to work on a commercial.

The Nanny and other stuff...

Well, I haven't worked as an extra in a while. Worked as a nanny for my cousin's 1 1/2 year old for a month ... then got sick for 2 weeks ... then my mom visited for 2 weeks ... so it's been a bit crazy for me. In the meantime, I got a commercial agent and got new headshots. Hopefully I will get more work soon!

17 Days

Well the whole experience was great! It was great working on a film for such a long time and I made a few friends along the way. I'm really looking forward to seeing Poseidon when it comes out, if nothing else the special effects will be fun to watch. The sets of the 2 ballrooms were breathtaking and although it was a bit tiring wearing the same strapless dress the whole time, I'd do it again.

I've posted a few pictures. Mostly of the people I saw and hung out with on a daily basis.

Shannon and Donna 

lots of extras with a lot of time to wait and pose for the occasional "illegal" picture...

Before the ship flips ... waiting around in holding... 

you can barely see me, but I'm there ;) just standing around and waiting for the balloon drop... 

balloon drop 

first day after flip ;) I ended up getting bloodier and dirtier with every day :P

Well ... here it is Monday ... call time 4:30 am ...
Last week was long, tiring and fun. Along with the cast, I spotted 2 other miscellaneous celebrities around the set ... Salma Hayek, who was checking out the set and holding hands with Josh Lucas ... and I saw Rob Reiner pull up in a golf cart and go into the set ...
Well, it's time to go to work. I'm trying to get my hands on some pictures ,,, my digital camera decided to quit working, but I should have some soon. =)

On The Flip Side ...

*YAWN* It's too early ... =P
Yesterday was fun went by surprisingly fast, but after having less than 3 hours sleep Sunday night, I feel extra sleepy this morning ...
We began filming on the upside down set yesterday, and from what I understand, yesterday was the most complicated. We did the part right after the flip, when everyone is coming to and the emergency lights are starting to come on. They had water dripping from the ceiling (from the "ship's busted water pipes") and fires in various locations and tons of stunt people falling from the balcony and catching on fire. Everyone starts out in various locations on the floor (ceiling) and slowly gets up (if they can or aren't dead =P). I started out on an upside down table on top of a dead guy (fake dead guy ;)). Then as I was "coming to" the chandaliers start sparking and a man catches on fire next to me. It was pretty cool to see it all, but I do have to say I am already waking up with bruises. =P
The make up on everyone is amazing and really cool. But I'll go into that tomorrow. Need to get ready to go. =) Got to be there at 5am today ...

Poseidon - Round 2

Well, I start on Poseidon again tomorrow when they'll begin filming after the flip. Central Casting just called me with my info. My call time is at 5:30am (a little better than last time. =P And my category is Injured ... the girl told me they have healthy, injured and dead ... should be fun. =)

1 week down ... 1 to go ...

WOW! Last week was just a blur. I'd have to say the most fun was Friday. We did the countdown to midnight and they had a balloon drop and streamers shooting and the whole shabang ... we had to rehearse it a couple of times before they released everything ... basically, while we are singing Aulds Lang Sine (or however you spell it =P), the "alarm" goes off and we "hear a rushing sound" and everyone panics, etc ... when we did it for real finally, it was actually quite chilling to be in the middle of all of that ... I was near the back of the dance floor kinda in the middle and when people started screaming and running, I literally could not make it to my table ... My hands were still shaking by the time we did it again ... this time of course we just picked up a few balloons and threw them in the air ;)
Anyway ... I can't wait to see how it all turns out on film!
I get to go back on July 12th for the upside down scene. I'll get pics of my dress "after the flip" and post 'em when I can. =)

I'm not wearing the pointy toe shoes that I'm supposed to but you can just imagine how silly it looks with that dress! 

can you tell I'm tired!!?? =P 

Lisa and me 

Poseidon - Day 3

Call time was still 4:30am ... oh joy ;)

The scenes we were doing last friday and yesterday (monday) were set during the New Year's Eve party between 11:30 pm and 11:40 pm ... today we went back a bit and did 10:00 pm. The captain, Andre Bauer (sp?), made a speach and introduced Gloria (played by Fergie). Kurt Russel and Kevin Dillon were on the set today for their scene at a poker table with Josh Lucas at 10pm.
Nothing really to chat about ... I am really tired. Good news, though ... I don't have to be there until 5am tomorrow. =) So instead of waking up at 2:30 ... I get to sleep in until 3am!! =P
Still no pictures. =(
