today i went to an extras casting call at oregon 3d for a corporate video shoot, where the director said i had a "nice smile" (nobody else got complimented :). i have no idea when i'll actually know about the job, which is all day tuesday and pays $20. ah, well, what else am i doing, right? and i'm sure michael's just glad i'm getting out during the day. :)
the "casting call" boiled down to a brief explanation about the project, lining up for a digital head shot, asked for a name & phone, and then leaving the room. i had forgotten how everyone at an audition sizes everyone else up, to see if they can tell how much competition you are. i always had an advantage there because i look pretty harmless until i actually get on stage, at which point i kick ass. of course, just taking a photo is different because i typically take awful photos, but i think my chances are pretty good because they need about 15 people and 25-30 showed up: in general, i think i can rise to the top half of almost anything. and if not, well, heck; i was at least 5 years older than anyone else in the room.
then i went to goodwill: i forgot how much fun that place is, and what a great source for assemblage & collage materials. :D
