Commercial Shoot

I had so much fun on set yesterday! I got there a little before my 9AM call time and went to have my hair and make-up done. I changed into my wardrobe and then hung around for a few hours in the make-up trailer while I waited to be called to set.

Once I got to set, I met Geordie, the director, and Bryan, the actor I was going to be working with. We spent about an hour and a half shooting different variations of the dialogue and re-shooting with different adjustments that Geordie gave us.

Then we broke for an hour lunch and Bryan, the other three actors in the commercial and I ate and then hung out in the trailer talking and listening to music.

After lunch we shot a different part of the commercial and then I had to record some "wild track" dialogue. That means they had me in a room with a microphone just recording dialogue over and over that will be edited into the commercial. It is amazing how long it takes for a 30 or 60 second spot to get made!

The whole day was a lot of fun and I can't wait to see which parts of what we shot end up in the final commercial:)
