Today was the shoot for the short film styled corporate video. I auditioned for a few roles, and was gunning for the bad ass dude, but in the end, I got the one of a sleazy, horny customer instead. Not bad, eh? 😉
Looking at the size of the cast and crew, this really didn’t look like a corporate video shoot at all. If you stepped right in, you might be forgiven for thinking that its a film set instead. Met a lot of familiar faces as well, and I was tickled pink when they made me wear the gangster polo tee from our movie as part of my wardrobe. Which prompted the crew to go on about how much I wanted the gangster role in the movie lol. These guys ah…
It was good to see Josephine again. We first met when we were doing a dramatised reading for Theatreworks, and although we’ve been on the same projects recently, we didn’t really quite meet. Which, as unusual as it sounds, is really quite normal in this industry. Jo was last seen in an excellent portrayal of a wife/girlfriend of a victim of the SARS like virus in the Without Warning episode I was in. This time round, she plays my mamasan. Kekeke.
Met Charlene as well, who greeted me with a “Mr Wong!?!” I last worked with Charlene on Missing : The Social Escorts and she was chiding me that I kenna the same kind of role again. Yeah, right, I can’t help it if people like to see me being horny and sleazy et al, can I? >.<
I forgot to return the $100 which was given to me as a prop in the end. I only realised it when I opened my wallet later in the evening. But thankfully, the company has not threatened to send me a pig’s head. 😛
