I'm an extra in a new movie!!
Today when I was just about to leave work these two women walked up to me and asked "Do you know what all those movie cameras and trailers are doing down the street?". I looked up at them and said "WOAH! WHAT CAMERAS?!?!". So...I walked down the block with my bosses dog to take a look. When we got there, they were shooting a scene on my old math teacher's front lawn. I watched! When it was over I went up to the director. I was expecting the obvious. "Hi! I'm sorry to bother you sir, but I was wondering...if you need any extras, I will gladly do it!". Guess what he said. "Sure! I'll put you in the next scene! Come back here in 20 minutes and your in!" he told me.

I WAS SOOOOO STOKED! So I then ran down the street to drop off the dog and ran right back to the scene. It was about 3:15pm when we started. They had everything! Cameras, TVs, those screens-everything! I followed them as they were setting up. The director came up to me. "Hi, I'm Taylor, you are?". "I'm Lauren, I live in the area". "I am, the Assi. Director. I want you to over there so that you don't get hurt". For about an hour and a half I sat on the side waiting for my part in the scene.

They started shooting a new scene where this guy comes up in a car. Taylor then came up to me. "OK Lauren, when that guy in the car drives up to the sign I want you to then start walking up to the stop sign and then stop walking". I noded.

I stood there and waited. "Quiet everybody! And.....action!". As the car approched I started to walk towards the stop sign. When I got there I stopped and watched the movie take place!

The actor in the car then parked the car, turned it off and then ran out of the car, ran up to this guy who was pretending to weed wack (another actor). The guy then got down on his hands and legs. The guy who was weed wacking fell over him and started cursing at him. The guy who tripped him started laughing at him. The guy who was on the ground started cursing at him. They were cursing at eachother. The guy on the ground then got up and threatened to weed wack him!

The the director yelled "Cut!!!". Taylor came up to me and told me that he would need me again soon. So I stayed till about 7:30pm.

It was interesting. It was sooo painstaking though. Sitting there watching the movie take place. I got to talk to this actress-to-be. She was very nice.

Right before I left Taylor told me to be back there tomorrow at 4pm and said that he would put me in the movie! I AM SOOOOO EXCITED!! But luckily I have my graduation party tomorrow at the spa. I'll look good!

Just in case you don't believe me here's a picture I took on my phone!
