Back on TV screens

Today was just a bit exciting..hugely exciting actually! I just love being on a TV set - the people, the lights, the cameras - being in the midst of it all and working at a fast pace is what does it for me!

A nice and early call of 6am started the day, makeup and wardrobe was a breeze thanks to some very kind and talented ladies and it was all 'quiet on set, rolling, action' from there on.

We filmed inside Northland shopping centre mainly on the escalators just before the cinema. It's funny because the night before I told my sister I was a bit worried as I wasn't sure I remembered what I needed to do when in front of a camera (silly nerves). My sis reminded me that I do what I do because it comes naturally to me, and because I'm good at it. She was right, at the end of the shoot I realized something - there was a camera, entire crew, huge lights and booms right before me. Sure, I was aware and conscious of the where-abouts of all this but at the same time.. i wasn't. Some things just become second nature and this must be one of those things. You just learn how to move, position yourself and deal with cameras, people and light, so much so that you do all of these things on auto pilot.

This was my first job booked through Chameleon  Casting! Woo hoo! I've been auditioning at this casting office for more than five years now and FINALLY I broke through. I look very forward to many more auditions with the lovely Chameleon ladies, and hopefully a job or two!

Keep checking back as i'll upload the commercial once it has aired.
