It's kinda like that. My episode is going to revolve entirely around me. I'm in damn near all the scenes. The stories are real, we know what happened IRL from talking to the real people involved, may even use there real voices in the voice over narrations.
It *DOES* feel kinda weird being this hardcore evil criminal guy. I had to spend hours and hours today screaming at this '80 yo' couple, and to be honest, I felt kinda bad. So, I've tried to slip gotwoot twice into the ep and think so far I've failed, but I'll keep at it.
Acting is EX.HAUST.ING. it's like 10-14 hr days, and at a super high intensity all day. We'll probably film at least 50-60 hrs of film for the 44 min ep. It's also incredibly fun, especially for someone like me. More details to come in time, just thought I'd check in and say hi. Hi.
Also, this episode is apparently one of the crews favorite, or at least one that they are super excited about because of how fun and nuts this one is. So, be excited, be be excited. Be excited, be be excited.=D when this airs, it's gonna rock.
Also, just getting to each day's shoot has been an adventure in and of itself since I don't have a car. We are shooting all over teh bay, Treasure island, Petaluma out in the boonies, Novato, concord... So I've had to play a lot of tricky, tricky games to get there each day at 7am. Sleeping and driving in and with weird folks and places. It's been one hell of a trip so far. Best Vacation from work EVAR!
