There are sooooo many funny stories about trying to make commercials and movies
i am supposed to "speak" at. the ipswich adult care center today 10- so i sat in my bed remembering things that are now hysterical.
. but at the moment caused a spike in my blood pressure..
my eventual "take" on the job is... people write scripts for movies--
but what happens behind the scene you can not begin to write.
from roger williams, the swans, BOSTON COMMON and my leaking canoe---
to ed bigly jr. running 3 blocks in down town Boston in his shorts because he was a vegie and would not touch the meat for the dog.
to cher, merxxxx, and me with the 3 triplets playing the old girl scout song....kookaberry sits in the old oak tree
TO GETTING 12 sheep to lie in a row at sunrise( which is only 20 minutes long-- then you would have to try again the next day????)
or my shaving the fuzz off the testicles of a sheep in the mens room of a boston hi rise....
or one of my most profitable jobs. finding-- then keeping alive-- a dozen crabs for a week 4:00 am to 6:00pm... not lobsters... he wanted crabs.....i got crabs. and became -- for that day-- the lady with the crabs.... not to worry...i was paid by the hour...
to scouting the perfect location UP AND DOWN RT 1A using a helicopter and POLLAROIDs !!! REMEMBER THOSE????
my worst job>>> easily-- 4 pigs in harness ---santas reindeer... terrible 1 week prep....., but i got there and found... not only in harness but on a stage 18 inches high--
there is no end... i should do up a poster with the clients tail. .......
in new england , i was "it" and protected my reputation for "no animals were hurt" which went on all the movies i was involved with. the only thing i ever did "wrong" was setting fire to the shoebox of cockroches which we had picked up at a restaurant in gloucester....... i am not sure i should even mention that now....
