Once upon a time while I was still struggling to find a job and had nothing to do to pass time, a friend of a friend who works as a researcher in GMA asked if I could act as a talent in Good News, a television show hosted by Vicky Morales which airs in GMA News TV. The feature is about why people have trouble sleeping and what we can do to solve this dilemma. I have a bit of a theater background because of my major in college so being able to be part of this shoot was very exhilarating. There were only six of us during the shoot: the driver, two cameramen, one researcher, and the producer/director. I am not going to teach you how to act in front of the camera because I am still definitely an amateur. Fast facts, though: there will be a lot of takes for just a few scenes, you have to manage your own makeup, the pay (i.e. food and transportation allowance) is very low, but being a talent is certainly an experience you will never forget (especially because other people will never let you live it down). Have fun watching the video because I certainly enjoyed being part of it! :)
