BUNHEADS
It sounds like a comedy but it's actually a drama about some ballerinas. I was booked as valet guy and the good news was that we didn't have to shoot on location. We shot inside Stage 4 at Sunset Gower.
The call times were moved up and up and when I was driving, Central called to ask me if I could get to set as soon as possible. The earliest I could get there was pretty much my call time so when I arrived, a DGA assistant put me on the golf cart and sent me to rehearsal.
The 2nd AD was named Langston and he was a very cool guy. They had made a fake Chinese restaurant and Rumi played the restaurants hostess. It's funny because she's actually Japanese.
After rehearsal, I went back to wardrobe and the costumer was not happy when I told her I did not bring a white shirt. All I heard on the tape was to bring a white shirt, but I didn't realize it needed to be a long sleeve one. I just assumed that the shirt would be provided. Oops. So she put me in a girl's white shirt with a neck that was way too big. It looked kind of messed up but what're you supposed to do?
There were four principals in the scene so we had to do many many takes for each one and they had me in every scene since they wanted someone that the principals could react to even though I wouldn't be seen. Then they actually set-up a shot just for me and Rumi since I was supposed to be looking for the crazy chick who didn't leave her keys with the valet.
Langston saw me standing most of the time and working it, so he gave me an extra $20 for my work. What a cool guy. We were wrapped and I called around to see if anyone was around to kick it in Hollywood, but alas, no one was.
So I went back and kicked it at Jansen's and we worked on his networking issues till the wee morning hours.
