    I think I would get the most out of this experience if I could be an extra in a zombie flick.. as a zombie, of course!

    I would, however, settle for just being an extra in any old movie.

    Some friends emailed me saying a casting office needed extras... 2 months ago

    ...so I sent in pictues and what not, not expecting to hear back. Got the phone call the very next day!

    I saw some celebrities up close and talked with various people involved in the industry. It was cool seeing some of ‘the behind the scenes’ process.

    I was involved from like 6a-1130p, so it was a very long day but it was a very interesting experience – and I got paid so that made the day all the more better (hopefully I’ll be able to actually see myself in the film, but hey :).

    it was 30 degrees outside and an outside scene , lots of yelling and retakes and retakes .
    really .
    not not worth it .
    at all .

    This was a very interesting experience. My brother talked me into this several years ago when I was out of work. We got paid a few bucks an hour and the food was great. My brother had signed up on a web site, but brought me along. We signed in, got into costume (I was a Highway Patrol officer) and then went to a high school football field to stand around all night. As someone else mentioned, we did the same thing over and over. I basically paced back and forth along the sidelines. My brother was a reporter in the booth and actually has about 4 seconds of full face recognizable screen time. I think I saw the top of my head, but there were two of us in the Trooper costume, so I’m not really sure. Many other extras were sitting in the stands. It was exciting to be part of the making of a major motion picture and watching how everything worked from behind the director was very cool.
