I did a 24 hour or nearly two days on about three hours sleep. I stayed at the house until about 8 am and the crew where arriving. One of the crew brought in some kind of light holder and let the feet down which hit the door frame to the living room. That is not cool and the wall has some marks on it so I mentioned it. Please handle with care.
I took off to my good friend's place and spent the day with her. I spent some of it yawning and then eventually asked if she would like to go to one of our favourite malls. I headed up to see my hairdresser. I decided it was time to treat myself to a new hair cut. My friend decided to shop. It took longer for the hair to get done but we had some time to do a bit of shopping before we headed back to this neck of the woods. I thought I should give my friend an idea of the film world and this is a small crew in the house. That is twenty five people trying to put something on film. We had the producers and the make up ladies and the kraft services in the basement. My friend and I managed to get coffee and head for the open basement and sit on the rocking chair. I think she found it interesting, this isn't something one sees every day a film crew at work. Then we came upstairs and looked in what was left of my bedroom. The best thing was my dish that is in my oven was being used for the cat dishes. Charming and the large equipment dolly for the camera was in the kitchen. This is a near impossibility as the kitchen is a small galley kitchen. We then walked out through the back door and was in the view of the camera that was doing an establishing shot of the house.
We went back to my friends house and I spent the rest of the day their but went home when the house was clear.
I woke up the next day and at the moment can't remember what I did. The basement half of the crew were still here so I had the door closed. I got ready as I had to go out and take care of something and return a pair of jeans I had got at our main department store. I went to the store and tried on at least four pairs of jeans. The fit was not good so I got my money back and then went to a small shop in the mall. I found some nice ladies jeans but neither of them fit. I did finally found one pair of I thought fit.
What is it with clothing manufacturers these days. I know I am not of the age I can wear the tight legs and low cut under the waist style at the moment. I am thankful for what I got I can at least look respectable at Christmas when we go for a family visit.
Post op, I think letting the crew come and film is wonderful in theory but a bit close to hell in practise. One, you need cleaning staff and two, you need a hotel room for the day to rest and spend time there.
Even the money although much appreciated, you do work and work for it. I haven't finished yet.
Not sure I would do this again.
