HOUSE BUNNY

House Bunny was my first movie and it is going to star Anna Ferris as a Playboy Playmate who is kicked out of the mansion and must become a house mother to a sorority just to make ends meet. House Bunny is the working title as of this writing.

This part was easily the best experience, not because I got a cool role, but because it was incredibly easy. The only thing that made it questionable was the drive to Burbank. I was to play paparazzi and the PA that met us asked us to wait in holding until he got the other paparazzi gathered.

We then drove to wardrobe and the lady who checked us in was pissed. We were fifteen minutes late on her clock, but all we did was look at the PA who just said that he didn't think it made sense to drive one of us there. So we got our vouchers after she yelled at him a little and off to wardrobe we went.

I had my fishing jacket on, but wardrobe did not like it. She was fine with my t-shirt and jeans and then off to holding we went again. And there we stayed for a few hours. The PA that was watching us in holding was so bored, but very cute. She got some of the extras in the next room to do some ballroom just to keep everyone entertained.

It was finally time to shoot a few hours later. We were brought into a salon, but then told to wait. We received our props which were old, big film cameras with an attached flash. I got into argue mode with the guy next to me. He thought the parking lot said four hours for parking, while I was certain it was two hours. We were both very sure of ourselves and then we discovered we had parked in different lots. Essentially, we were both right and thought the other was wrong. It made me wonder how many arguments are shaped the same way. Then, I tried using the word "irregardless" but the same guy said it wasn't a word. It's probably the first time someone corrected my use of a word in a long time. I kept an open mind (due to the last argument) and decided to check it out on Wikipedia when I got home. Strangely, we were both right again!

We were then called into a small room right next to the main salon. Our background was a black tarp and we were positioned three deep. Since I was one of the short guys, I stayed in the front row. All we had to do was take our cameras and fire away at the camera as it dollied back and forth. After a few takes, we wrapped and that was that.

I had some time so I called Ayet and she invited me over for dinner. I got to hang out with her and Carlo for a little while. Then I showed Carlo the beauty of torrents. I couldn't stay long though because I knew I had to take the kids to Magic Mountain the next day.
