West Wing (2) Update

Yay! I landed on the cutting room floor in only one of three scenes! I’ve been on the show twice and managed to get in frame on the first and second time, although not in all scenes. That’s okay, though. I still get paid and I still think it’s fun regardless.

This was the scene where I started off standing on a squishy brass-looking seal. That was pretty odd.

And this one was actually kind of fun because I remember alternating between writing notes and playing solitaire on my palm pilot between takes. This kind of cross is also sort of difficult sometimes. I’m not always directly cued by a PA or AD, so I just have to take my cue either off of a visual of where the actors are, a specific line they say or sometimes if there’s a dead spot in the extras’ movement, it’s a good thing to try to fill it if possible.

I wish more gigs had been like my second time on West Wing. Looking back, it was actually a really good gig even though it was long.
