Extra! Extra!

So we learned about a Japanese movie being filmed in Pattaya from some friends at the Dive Shop. They are extra's in the film. They gave the Casting Director's number to us. They were in need of white or "American" looking extras. An easy 2,000 Baht a day. Sweet! Plus you always have amazing craft services on film sets.

We were suppose to go out Saturday, but got told they only needed men. Burn.

Tom and Brian on Set
Brian!
Sam got promoted to officer and got to act along side a Baldwin brother :)
Couple of English Teachers
Emily and I were suppose to be nurses, but they needed us Tuesday and Wednesday... when we teach. Of course we choose the film!!! haha... but only one day.

It was nice being on set and not having the stress that I'm usually used to. Being an extra is way easier... but I still hate being in front of the camera. The set was hectic... Japanese, American, and Thai crew. Talk about language barrier. I loved watching the extras. They were clueless. No one explained anything to them! Baaaadddd AD's! I particularly loved how the extras took it upon themselves to move things around on set and argue with the PRODUCTION DESIGNER about where to put things. HILARIOUS. Things like that would never happen in Hollywood haha. You would get yourself booted immediately. I also love how the extras are not aware of the camera at all and keep 'acting' and making noise. If I was on the sound crew I would be like wtf. So many things to comment on... but it was entertaining in short.

Luckily, we spent most of our time sitting around in the AC. The boys spent most of their days in the sun.
Hair and Makeup
Too much Wai Kru practice... Look at those hands

Craft services was pretty weak too. I am used to American craft services a.k.a. a huge buffet 24/7.


Sitting below smoking hot lights with fake fog pumped in. FUN.
Dr. Marcus from England was Hilarious! He directed himself and never did what he was told!!!!


That's a Wrap!
... But Emily and I had fun :)
