NFL Training Video

So I had a shoot with Will Interactive yesterday for an industrial. I had no idea what exactly I'd be working on, but had researched the company and found it to be an easy way to make some money - nothing of any great value, but it paid. I got up early and headed out to Old Town Alexandria, which is my favorite place in the DC Metro Area - on the Virginia side and absolutely beautiful. I like it better than Georgetown even! The shoot was taking place at Bugsy's, a sportsbar at the end of King Street by the waterfront. When I got there I signed in and found out that we were shooting a training video for the NFL, so that was pretty exciting. We spent the day filming scenes based around scenarios where players can make good or bad decisions. Players, once hired by the NFL, will watch this video and interact by choosing an outcome to the given scenarios. So it was kind of interesting to film the same scenes over and over with slightly different endings. All in all, I had a good time, met some nice people, had a free lunch and made some money. Not bad.

After the shoot I was exhausted. But, being stupid, I agreed to work at GAP when my manager had called and asked the previous day. I should have declined, but they're always nice about my schedule and facilitating it there, so I agreed. I mean, what was another 5 hours on my feet, right? Ugh, so much standing. Anyway, I got through the night and slept in til 1:30 today. Luckily I didn't have to be at Filthy Rich rehearsal and was able to relax today. Tonight I'm seeing Glory Days at Signature Theatre. I was supposed to go last week for the pay-what-you-can, but some of my friends decided not to go and I did other things instead. However, I got free tickets for tonight's show, which is always better than pay-what-you-can, so there's no way I could refuse. Anyway, I need to get ready for the night now. I'll post about the show later.
