I had returned home with a headache on day 2 and 3 of last week’s shoot, thinking that it was due to the filtration mask which I had to wear all day. It was only on Saturday, when I felt the same headache after a tiring gym workout, that I realise the headaches were not due to the mask.
They were due to exhaustion.
Filming back to back emo scenes on Days 2 and 3 had certainly taken its toil on me. As a consequence, I was still feeling emo over the weekend, my emotional state not helped by hearing certain things related to me by a certain someone last Friday evening.
I wonder, if not for my preparation, would I still have been as affected? And I also wonder if I didn’t hear those things, would I have recovered faster from my preparation?
This made me recall an interview with Jennifer Connelly where she related how she had to go to some island for a few months vacation to recover from acting her character in “Requiem For A Dream”. I don’t think I have the luxury of doing a vacation right now though; I have to rush to finish tying the loose ends of a project I completed before the shoot as well as rushing to finish a project I postponed to take on this role.
Work is such an unpleasent and ineffective remedy.
i concur.
when ppl do what they love as work, they dont need as much time away or monetary compensation.
there has to be sthg missing here, dearie.
recognition?accolades?
Leia, eh concur with?
Boo, its got more to do about getting out of character, not abt needing time away. Depending on circumstances, there could be a need to recover from a role, or else you risk walking fire and entering demon. The last time I had such a need for a role was for “Valerie”. 😛
i concur that work is such an unpleasant and ineffective remedy.
leia, noted.
