My First Music Video Shoot
Call Time: 11am
Location: Stage 28, Universal Lot
Musician: Daniel Powter
Guest Star: Rachael Leigh Cook
Song: Love You Lately
“You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around“
Oh Daniel Powter, I listen to that song all the time when I have bad days.
My first job was to correct the wrong doings of Kinkos and staple the call sheets, then I realized that our studio was next to the Backdraft ride in Universal Studios and I really wanted to drop all my duties and go on the mummy ride but I couldn’t but I tried but I had to get food for the trailer and ride with Erin cause she has a car and I don’t because I failed my driver’s test because I’m incompetent but then a C- stand fell on my foot and so even if I had a car, my foot would hurt so that would suck but that turned out to be my conversation starter throughout the whole night with the sound guy and the 2nd AD and the gaffers and the make up lady who claimed she was feeling gross because she was pregnant and had her period ((?) too much info? sorry sometimes I don't have a sense of privacy) and the director who is Philip Andelman is the nicest person and so was Rachael Leigh Cook because she was playing with children, Cook played a PA in the music video and it was about how she came from a small town, possibly somewhere in Vermont or South Dakota and she wanted to make it big in Hollywood but she’s just a PA on this music video shoot so she questions herself- is this really what she wants? Is this really what I want? So then I was like, that is totally how I feel, you don’t need to hire Miss. Cook to play that part… Angel Yau IS that part! But it didn’t matter because I still got my camera time. I played the woman wearing back writing down things on my important notepad and if I see myself in this video I can imdb myself with the role of woman in black with notepad and be like, “Oh boy! FAME!” But really not, it’s just for self-esteem and even though the shoot was over at 2am, the best part of the whole shoot was the mussels.
“Angel, what did we say about the mussels?”
“That they are yellow and delicious Erin?”
“NO! NEVER EAT SHELLFISH FROM THE BACK OF A CATERING TRUCK!”
Damn it.
The End.
I wasn’t suppose to take pictures but let’s just say the following is NOT of a certain musician’s trailer and NOT of a certain Asian girl inside the NOT musician’s trailer with his clothes looking sneaky with her uniform... NOT!
