Zzzzzzzzzz....

So yesterday was my first big shoot and it was pretty much a big waste of my time even though I got paid for it. It was called the "Untitled History Project" and my call time was at 6:45 a.m. Worst of all I had to take my bike with me. So I get there, signed in, and shot a scene till 10:00 a.m. which was fine. So we wait for them to set up another scene but they don't call the people with the bikes. No...all they want are the pedestrians. While we were waiting, they had sandwiches for us as snacks. Tick tock, tick tock...it's lunch time. We eat. Tick tock, tick tock...they call the people who had uniforms and pedestrians. Tick tock, tick tock...nothing. The people with bikes ended up just sitting there for 8 HOURS doing nothing. EIGHT HOURS. 8 HOURS of sitting, reading my book, and walking around. EIGHT HOURS. I wouldn't have minded being there for 12 hours IF I was working. I actually wanted to ask the staff person that was sitting around with us and cleaning up if I could help her with anything...but I didn't. It wasn't such a total loss though...I did read 12 chapters of my book. Sigh...Like I told D.E.M.T.R.A, if there was a television, I would've been set.
