My First Commercial

I just shot my first commercial and it is a national commercial! I was playing myself (ie I am not doubling anyone) so you will see my face. It was my first close up. I am a stunt actress for the commercial and on national commercials you get paid every time it airs which is pretty sweet. They will also show the commercial on the Internet.

It went great and I think they were very happy how it turned out. Jon was at the filming helping out the stunt coordinator. I always feel safe knowing that Jon is there in case something happens (like when I did my car hit and had to go to the hospital).

I am excited to see how it turns out. I think the only thing that I wasn't super happy about and have never had to deal with was I think they made my already thick hair even bigger. My hair basically had its won personality. It looked like a wig. Usually I am doubling someone and they never see my face on camera so I don't care what I look like but this time it was about me. I asked the hair lady why she made my hair so big and she said because I am playing a mom and the big hair would make me look older. I guess we will see...

No Shannon, I didn't have any lines but I do have a close up of me yawning (my first close up and it is of my big mouth go figure). I think it will air next month. I will post video when I get it.
