Shoot!! I had a 5am wake up call, but I must have fallen asleep again! I woke up to the phone ringing at like 5:50am. The production assistant was like, "Where are you?". I was so sleepy I couldn't even respond...it think I said something like..."what do you mean", LOL. He was like "Did you get the times confused?"....I quickly woke up and thanked God that he'd thrown me a bone. I didn't quite understand why he thought I'd been given the wrong time until I got downstairs and saw Kat getting in the car....turns out we'd both overslept and ended up being ready at the same time! How's that for being in sync with your scene partner, lol.
I felt SOOO bad about being late, but I ended up doing alot of my own make-up in the car to save time when we got to set. We ended up being ready with plenty of time to spare, thank goodness!
Everybody on set was really cool. Apparently, all the other actors/dancers in the commercial were from NY so Kat and I were regarded as a pretty big deal, which is kinda funny to me.
This commercial was a really unique experience for me. First of all, its really, really funny. I'm talkin' Super Bowl funny!! That's right...my Chevy commercial will debut on Super Bowl Sunday (God willing, lol)!!! Secondly, it turns out the the girl who wrote the commercial was an 18 year old college student who won a contest sponsored by CBS (I'm tellin' reality can pay off if you work it right! I'm still thankful to FFF for my SAG card!). Because of this CBS was filming behind the scenes footage for a "making-of" show...the filmed us acting silly and we did a few interviews with them which was a bunch of fun! Oh, and talk about coincidence...when we wrapped shooting today, the guy who was in charge of all the CBS footage came up to me. He was like "Hey, Jillian, right?? I don't know if you remember me, but I was the casting director on Fight for Fame." How crazy is that? It's such a small world! Anyway, the "making-of" show is supposed to air on CBS the night before or the morning of the Super Bowl, I'll keep ya posted!
After we wrapped Kat and I grabbed a few drinks with the director and producer of the spot. They were such cool guys and it was really good to get a bit of networking in considering we were on such a tight schedule. This is such a small business and relationships are key to being successful in it. I just saw the CD from Fight for Fame for goodness sakes!
After that I got together with my good friend Eric Abrams. I know Eric from South Carolina! He was my cast mate in my last undergrad play "Blues for an Alabama Sky". It's so good to be around southern folk! We hung out in Harlem then came back to mid town and again I stayed out way too late, lol. But I had a ton of fun. In fact my entire weekend was Awesome. I love NY, and I thank God for each and every blessing he's bestowed upon me!
