Style by Jury
This is becoming easier and easier with each episode. The very first time I was in an episode, I kid you not it felt like it took forever, and that’s because it did. Today we were able to wrap one scene in a total of one hour and half hours. Bonus!!
I’m just about to give my interview about the subject, we then break for lunch and start again this afternoon at 1pm.
Style By Jury
I’m on the set of Style By Jury this morning, which happens to be my living room. I have a few minutes before we begin filming. What I learned from my past appearances on the show is to stay away from the subjects until the camera is rolling. This will prevent from saying something off-camera that I should have said on camera.
I’m filing two episodes today. The first subject appears to be very happy-go-lucky with a good outlook on life just a little lost, seeking to find her way. I won’t give out too many details but I will update the progress throughout the day.
How much fun do you think it would be to do what you love for an audience? If you could perform for an audience, what would you love to do?
Its A Wrap
I’m wiped out — six hours for only a minute and a half, maybe two minutes at most of air time. I did my final interview regarding the subject, all was good. I was not intimidated by the camera facing right at me. I spoke acing just to the left of the camera lens.
All and all, it was a successful day, less my less than perfect acting. 
Now I could honestly say, I could never do nor want to do what actors do – not only are they talented, but they have a huge amount of patience.
I’m in one more scene that will be filmed in about three weeks with the subject to look over her assignment and to see what the future holds for her. What I learned tonight that I could bring with me to the next filming is all the directions given to me by the crew, from how to make a statement on tv (they had a word for it – I forgot), what not to wear, and a whole lot more.
Everything we do in life is a learning lesson. This happens to be a big one, but lessons are in everything we do especially in the things we do, or don’t do, that we are hard on ourselves for. I will be honest with you, my heart was thumping earlier today before the crew showed up.
Anyway, that’s it for tonight, just before 10pm and I should already be in bed.
Action
Okay everyone, I’m sitting in my apartment waiting to start shooting. The subject is outside with the host, they are making their way to my unit. I have the slight jitters, but overall I am feeling very confident. I have a basic guideline as to what I will be saying, but other than that, it’s reality. I hope when you all watch the show, you will realize it’s made for tv.
There was once a time I had a HUGE fear of being in front of a camera – today, just like my acrophobia, my fear of cameras will come to pass.
More to come… Bruno
