Oh it was great! Had so much fun:
I wrote:**waving** HI ~ still alive and not cut up in a trash bag! LOL :lol: :wink:

Today was sooooooooooo long.....but fun! I got to meet so many cool people.
(BTW ~ "Lights Out", which is the name of this TV Series starring Stacey Keach, will premiere in 2011!)

The amount of 18-wheelers and crew for this kinda stuff....GOOD LORD!!! :shock:

Craft-Service was there.....they had AMAZING food and coffee, soda, etc.....ALL FREE!

We shot one scene: a Church-Service where the Priest asks the Congregation for donations for Haiti-Relief...the family, who's the focus of this FX TV series, donated $50,000 to the relief fund.

:arrow: which is where I and the other extras come in - look around and murmur. 8)

This one scene was shot about 12 times: wide angle, close ups, focus on each of the speaking parts, crowd reaction, etc.
Heck, by the end of it, I practically had the Priest's lines memorized! LOL

Man I wish I'd studied Media Production.....to me, it's so cool to see how they line up a particular shot, execute the lighting (which, BTW, was cloudy and raining today...but they made it look like a bright, sunshine day) and arrange all the people involved.

TRAG out. And exhausted. CHEERS! \~/

Good luck Nora! If that doesn't work out and you like the entertainment field, I hear Steven Seagal is looking for a new executive assistant. :)

Good luck Nora! Job interviews are worse than public speaking for me, even though they usually go well, but they are one of the reasons I've stayed in some jobs that were dead end for so long - leaving meant interviews. Think positively - you'll be great!

Thanx so much, you guys. 8) \~/

The interview was really great - they thought that my background in Advertising would be a "plus" to this job.

I'll hear back on Friday; very latest Monday.
FINGERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE CROSSED!!! :wink: :lol:
