We traveled
back to Chicago almost every weekend in August and September mostly for weddings,
but the last two weekends, our family made last minute travel plans back to the
city so I could finally experience being an extra in a movie! (Thank you to Aaron
for babysitting)
Transformer’s
4- in theaters planned for June 27th, 2014. If you guys go see it,
look for the tiny little dot resembling an Asian woman in the corner of an
office building caught in an explosion, screaming for her life and protecting
her purse. That’s me! If I’m lucky, I may also be seen walking behind Mark
Wahlberg in a few split second shots. Haha
I’m sorry,
under contract I can’t give any details about my experience or inside scoops
about the movie, but I guarantee that there will be lots of action, and if
there’s anything you know about Michael Bay films, you will not get a shortage
of explosions!
I met some
great friends in all walks of life. Not all movie extras are professional
actors/actresses! Most are everyday people with corporate jobs who, like me,
occasionally do this for fun. It was neat to see how movies are made from
behind the scenes, and meet all the talented cast/crew members who make it
possible. I have a whole new appreciation for movies now, and will definitely
be paying more attention to the background who usually get ignored. It can be a
pretty tough job!
I found this picture that someone captured on the web (I wasn't able to take pictures on set). I'm standing right behind Michael Bay!

Ahh let’s
see, what else is new… I turned 31 last Thursday. I feel so old. My hips are
starting to hurt.
Okay now I want to experience becoming an extra in a film too! It sounds fun and really out of the ordinary! :D

You're back at the tunnel but looking less eerie. I will try to spot you in the movie.
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting!!!! Ill look for you!
ReplyDeleteAlso loving the bag. I'm a purse addict. I wanna reward myself with a new purse when I receive my first paycheck as a staff. Torn bet prada or Gucci. Seeing u and your posts --- I'm getting more and more convinced to get a prada bag.
Happy 31st!
Oh wow that's pretty amazing. How fun that must have been?! I will be sure to look for you when I see the movie. I love Transformers. The most exciting movie thing I've done is watching the Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie being filmed :)
ReplyDeleteHi Christy, I just discovered your blog and I think you are a very elegant and refined woman. This look is just perfect, I love polka dots!
ReplyDeleteI'm following you now!
Have a nice sunday dear,
