extra extra!

I've been doing some extra work lately on movie sets. It's always the same roller coaster of emotions. The day starts off with a rush of excitement: finding the location, signing in, and getting to know a comfy chair. The next 2-12 hours can be fun but generally tedious. Movie sets are rarely on schedule. Any nerves I once had were flushed away from the excessive wait times. By the time the extras actually do get on set, makeup and hair need to be retouched and our spirits have been beaten into submission. Overall, it's good to have the experience and learn to respect just how much time it takes to make a film.
