Hello ... I have to agree here ...
I was given then opportunity to be in a Delta Express commercial. I had to be
at the set from 0700 til 1900 ... It was a VERY long day. And they did so
many takes and retakes it was unbelieveable! BUT ... Before I went I had no
interest in film making, but getting a chance to talk with the principles,
extras, and crew really sparked an interest.
I would say to anyone who is interested, go and watch. Even just for a little
while.
Just remember to mind your P's and Q's.
Later Gator!
