Ask a movie extra anything

Ask a movie extra anything.

What mooby?

Why'd you smile and ruin that shot?

What does it pay?

I was paid £75 pounds for my efforts.

was that for the whole gig? were you only required for one scene/shot?

My friend was being a faggot and made me laugh.

I was in two scenes. In the first we had to march out of a farm. In the second we had to evacuate a trench.

how soon do you think this thread is going to spiral to the 10th page and disappear?

also,

how long before you post it again after nobody responds?

This thread is doing alright so far m8.

What film?

It's an adaption of a book called Journey's end.

Are you having a laugh?
Is he having a laugh?

Nah I ain't avin a giggle

Did you have to pretend to die or did you get to live?

what's it like, knowing you'll be famous soon?

Unfortunately I got to live.

Did you get free catering?

Pretty fucking cool. I've been going around college asking people if they know who I am. So yeah I'm a pretty big deal.

Yeah but it was really shit.

Did you pretend to shoot people in-between takes?

This is bait, noone can be this autistic.

sweet, remember us in your oscar speech next year!
also, what does it feel like, wearing a relatively authentic costume?
and how did you get the job? did they ask for people somewhere?

Hell yeah I also pretended to shoot myself. Unfortunately the gun had been deactivated.

How long did you sit around doing nothing?

Boi you better believe I'm on the spectrum.

Bump for how you got the job.

I got the job because on my media course at college we have to do work experience and my tutor said that this would be a good way to take out a massive chunk of it in one go.

ah, and you feel it was of any use?
did you actually learn anything?

Most of the day was spent doing nothing. Which was alright until it started pissing it down with rain.

Yeah it was a good way of seeing how they actually make films. Instead of the bullshit our tutors teach us.

Tacky shit.

What about it is tacky?
