Ever wonder what it's like to be in a movie?

I worked as a featured extra in this movie which basically is extra people in the movie that get featured, but remain non-scripted. It was so much fun meeting the crew and meeting amazing people that I worked with on set and we would also occasionally get pretty good food in the morning too.  

I worked on this set for three months and the first two months were pretty normal. All we had to do while we were working was walk around in the background and pretend to talk to other people or pretend to be in a relationship with a stranger or pretend to be drunk (You know, the usual daily habits of our species.) The last month however, we were told to wreck the place up. Imagine putting people (a species that crave destruction and recklessness) on a well set-up movie set to act wild and do whatever they want. No rules. Everyone went insane. Things were on fire, buildings and structures were destroyed, things blew up, the floors were covered in props and litter, animals were running around. It was so much fun. Our only instructions was 'Wreck this place.' I think we did a pretty good job of that. Everyone looked like they just escape from a mental asylum. Our adrenaline was pumping and we were all enjoying ourselves. 

Near the end of the movie they asked me to be a body double of the main actress,. They put a blonde wig on me and I did some scenes where they filmed me from behind.

It was so much fun to be apart of the acting side of the movie. I loved meeting and talking to the director and the main cast too. The part I loved the best about being the double was that I got to be in the very last scene of the movie when everyone was wrapped except the doubles and we got to watch the fireworks at night. It was the most amazing thing to be that close to the fireworks and watch so many of them all over in the sky. It was an amazing experience.
