life as an extra...

i experienced life as an extra for almost 10 hrs yest.. 8pm to 6am.. and i think we're only going to be paid 25 bucks.. that works out to be 2.50 an hr?!

actually we only had to be there till 1 am but being poor students and not wanting to let the taxi uncles earn our 25 bucks which prob would be gone on midnight surcharges, we decided to hang around till the 1st buses and trains start running and we had extra screen time cos of that(or so we belief)

so glad i met jocelyn and the rest there cos initially i was there alone a feeling kinda lost and out of place till they arrived.. we spend 70% of the time gossiping and 30% of the time fliming.. haha

and we met this guy from tp who was there on internship.. he so hated his job that he swore off productions altogether.. and i've also concluded that i would not wan to intern at mediacorp doing productions.. radio maybe but def not these drama stuff cos it's full of sai kang and u had a warped sleeping pattern.. now that was wat i wanna find out from being an extra this time..

behind the scenes of Without Warning (the show we're filming for)..

what a flimsy sign.. mediacorp could definitely do better..

my image for the show.. a passenger running away from a bomb scene.. with dirt on my.. haha

posing before the first take.. we are always full of ideas to get more screen time.. haha.. our 30secs of fame on national tv..

the scdf personnel.. they haf to carry so much equipment with them it's really hard on them.. bet they are paid more too lah..

getting bored of waiting..

we do wat cs students do best.. gossip! while waiting for the next shot..

the kids there are amazing.. they dun cry or make noise at all! dun even emote much.. they also dun seem to need to sleep.. but the lure of the sweet is too much for him.. he's juz so cute.. dun even know if he actually knows wat is going on with all the make-up he has on..

the make-up artist having a busy busy time.. but they are really doing a good job.. those injuries looked so scary i tot i was at fright nite again!

camera man hard at work.. extras busy whining away while we continue to gossip.. haha..

i dunno why those ppl are stoning away while there are injured ppl having a hard time.. if it were real i would curse at them for not helping loh..

so do look out for my 30 seconds of fame on "Without Warning", to be screened sometime in October! but u'll prob hear more of our screams than actually be able to see us.. ha!
