Well I Did It!

Filming is "a wrap" on my scenes on Shortland Street. Obviously can't repeat anything about them due to confidentiality issues etc but suffice to say it was a blast! What should have been shoot that started at 7.15am in make up and be tied up for me by 14.15 actually ended up finishing at 16.45. So one l-o-n-g day and today I have the head ache to prove it.

I know alot of people mock shows like Shortland Street/ Coronation Street and other similar "nightly" shows but until you have actually been there and seen how INCREDIBLY hard working these people are you really have no idea. Literally actors learning lines right up until shoot times, deadlines that would make most movie actors (who would film if they were lucky 5 minutes a day) have palpitations - the thing is these actors/ technicians are filming over 20 minutes of tv all day, every day.

Crazy crazy stuff - so HATS OFF to everyone who works on shows like these and I just feel incredibly proud that I got to "live the dream" even if it was for only 10 hours or so. And no there will be NO hints about when it is showing :o)
