It was funny, I did so bad the first time, they had to come back and shoot again, of course they told me they had loused up the actual film. But I could tell. You want the "talent" to have confidence in themselves.
I actually just looked at the trailer for Roger and Me, but they did not have the scene in it. They had before me and after me but not me. I am crushed.
I have a copy of the commercial somewhere. I guess I could post it to youtube. Take me some time to even find it, but i guess it could be done. The whole experience was funny. They put my wife and I up in this big suite 30 miles away from the shoot, I lived less than 15 miles from the shoot. Of course you draw a crowd while filming. During a break I had a lady come up to me and ask what we were doing, I told her we were the second camera company for Lethal Weapon and i was Mel Gibsons stand in. She looked like she didnt believe me for some reason. While driving the car during filming, they had the doors off, the trunk off and I had a 4 inch hole that I could see through the windshield. The rest was cameras. The sound man was strapped in the trunk. I had never been looked at so close in my life. Real interesting experience. During filming you are the "talent" you could get anything you wanted. Drink, eat, fans, didnt matter what. They treated you like a king. You had your own makeup person, wardrobe person/ gofer. But once done it was , "Bye" and you were left alone. 3 days to shoot a 30 second commercial. You shoot it about 20 different ways.
