On the way to H.'s first acting job. It was snowing. Pretty funny to drive through a snow storm to get there. We got out to get gas and we caught snow flakes on our tongues!
This is when we got to the job. H. was getting out of the car and was pretty excited to be there. I don't know why he brought his money bag, however. :-)
This is in the wardrobe room. H. had 5 clothes changes throughout the day. Two were our outfits and the others were theirs.
H. at the makeup/hairstyling counter. Enough said.
This is H. getting "wired" for the scene on the porch. The cameras were about 30 feet from him, I was just off the shot feeding him his lines that got changed right when we got there. He seemed a little nervous about the lines since he had the other ones perfectly memorized, on his own might I add. It was fun to get to help.
Where he sat for the porch scene, but this was taken during the voice over, so his outfit is different.
Rolling down the hill with his "friend" and his "mom" watching on.
Playing at the desk while the production overseers watched on the screen.
Ice Cream Break with M., his onstage "friend" who he LOVED playing with in real life, too.
Playing at the park with his "friend" and his "mom" for the commercial.
H. and real mom (R.) right after dinner. They put him in that jacket so he wouldn't spill hamburger on his shirt...good thing he's allergic to tomatoes so we didn't need to worry about ketchup spills!
All in all it was a GREAT day! Working with Wild Plum was the best possible way to start in commercials. They were all very polite and encouraging. The director was especially kind and worked well with H. It is probably because he has two boys of his own. Loved this experience and it wouldn't have worked without wonderful friends that could help us with babysitting our I. and A.! Thank you sweet friend D.!!!!
Here is the final outcome:
