Stand by...Action!

Yesterday was a busy day! I got filmed to be in the new Rainbows End TV commercial! Filming started at 9am and we had to be there about an hour early for makeup and costumes, so I had to get up around 5am! Because I take 2 buses and a ferry to get there, and that takes about 2 hours! I wasn't too happy about the early wake up, but once I got on the bus I was able to see the sunrise! I hadn't seen the sunrise in such a long time! And when I got on the ferry it was such a nice view, so it was all worth it!

Once I finally got there, I quickly but carefully put on my makeup! Because I definitely don't want to be on TV with bad makeup! And then we got taken to the place we were getting filmed. There were quite a lot of kids for extras, and their part was just to dance like they were having a party! And of coarse my part was to juggle! First take was pretty good, and I thought that this was easy... until we had to do it all over again and again! Stand by... Action! I wonder how many times I heard that yesterday! The sun was burning and my arms started getting sore, but I survived! It took 5 hours to film just a 30 second TV commercial! And that was only the scenes that the Flaming Phoenix were in, so the rest of the crew still had to film after we had left. I ended up being in 2 scenes, so I'm hoping that I will end up on the TV commercial and be able to see myself on TV! At the end of the day I had so much fun! Because I've always loved getting filmed, and everything about it! All the cameras and lighting and everything are so cool to me! So hopefully we'll be able to see the commercial very soon, and I think the video might get uploaded onto YouTube, so if it does I'll post the link here! And I'm not sure if this scene will make it into the final cut, but here's a sneak peak on what it might look like!
