Filmed "Citizen's Bank" Commercial

Filmed!Yesterday was great! I arrived 10 minutes early, which the production crew thought was, "great!" The hair/make-up artist arrived, and loved my hair. I had worn it in a low ponytail for the auditions and wardrobe, but now had it down (so that they could do whatever they wanted with it). She liked it so much that she kept it just the way it was (just put a tiny bit of product in it to smooth it out).

Within an hour I was on set, and ready to go. As "the shopping girl", I was to play an exec, doing a lot of shopping. We filmed down at Leone, a fancy store in downtown Vancouver. All I had to do was walk out of the store with my bags of shopping in my hands. Seriously, I had 4 bags of shopping, and just walked out of the store. It wasn't really out the store, but you won't be able to tell that on film. Then we did one other shot, which was just me shopping in the store (clothes in hand, looking at other clothes).

Apparently they're filming a lot of these different scenarios. I hope, I hope, I hope I don't get cut during the edit. For 2 reasons! 1) Well, I want to be in the commercial, and 2) I want the buyout, of course.

Anyway, I was there for 3 hours in total (3 and 1/2 by the time everything was done), and had a great time shooting. The guys were great, too. I met the guy who wrote the commercial, and he was really great talking to. Well, all the folks involved were really great.
