My Awesome Experience on New Girl

The time I was on the tv show "New Girl" was a really fun and memorable time. It was for the halloween special and the set was located at the Fox Studios. The scene I was in was basically where the lead character Jess (Zoey Deschanel) and another actor in the scene (I forgot what he looked like and what his name was) were answering the door to a bunch of trick-or-treaters. Jess ends up asking a kid if she can borrow his Batman costume. The scene was pretty funny and so was Zoey Deschanel. While we were waiting for the camera to reset, Zoey Deschanel walked over toward us and decided to talk with us! It was awesome and she was also really funny. At one point in the conversation, we started talking about what time us kids have to go to bed.  When I said 7:30 (I went on this job a long time ago as you can probably tell), Zoey Deschanel responded by saying, "Your mom is strict...huh?!" It was really funny and even my mom laughed when she heard her say that (after that joke my bed time changed to a much later time). Being on this show was awesome and I often stop to remember it. It was also way cooler when my scene along with me made it in the show on TV! Usually background doesn't have lines, but in this case we got to say "Trick or Treat!" Being on the Fox Studio lots and working with a really nice cast was really cool.  I hope I get to go back there again sometime in the near future!

My Awesome Experience on Girl Meets World!

It was the last week of school and I was looking forward to Summer vacation. I was pretty excited to get the call for "Girl Meets World." I really love working on Disney shows. Like many of the Disney shows, this show was taped at LA Center Studios in Downtown LA. In this episode, the students were going to a Middle School Prom/Formal. The first scene was in the student locker area. I handed the main actress (Rowan Blanchard) a rose. Recently, I actually saw myself in a trailer which was pretty exciting. The next scene was the dance scene. It took a while to complete the scene. They typically shoot the same scene over and over from different camera angles. The background cross back and forth to make the scene look natural while the actors are filmed. Between scenes, I played cards with one of the kid actors. It was fun and helped pass the time while waiting for the camera crew to reset the scene from a different angle. This last scene was the best scene. All of us kids got to dance while we got a private concert with the band Sheppard. They have the popular song "Geronimo." It was lots of fun. The only downside was that we had to dress in semi-formal attire. It was uncomfortable and hot. It was the coolest thing ever. I also had to dance with a bunch of girls and listen to a very strict (but funny) director. After the scene was over, we got to talk to the band and high-five them. The rest of the day was pretty much me eating a lot of food and playing Uno. It was a very cool experience and one that I will not forget.

My Awesome Experience on Modern Family

Today I'm going to be writing about the time I was on "Modern Family." It was really fun and exciting and I will probably never forget it (actually that's probably not true because I have a pretty bad memory of things and I already had enough trouble trying to remember this event for this week's blog).  It was a halloween special and it took place on a street near the Fox Studio's where we had parked our car.  I was dressed up as a magician with a little wand that later broke (don't mention that part to my mom). While we were in holding, which is basically where they put the background till they're ready for them, I met a boy who was dressed up as a robot. He was very nice and fun and helped pass the time.  I later got paired up with him to pretend that we were going trick-or-treating with each other.  It was a long time before we actually got to start filming because the actors kept messing up their lines in the rehearsal.  But finally, they got it right and we were able to finally start shooting. The scene was with Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neil) and Gloria Delgado-Pritchett (Sofia Vergara). It was a funny scene where Jay was arguing to Gloria about how he had no hair and that he looked horrible and old without hair.  He was supposed to be Prince Charming but everyone thought he was Benjamin Franklin.  We filmed the scene over and over again to the point where the lines weren't even funny anymore, they were kinda annoying.  After a while, the director decided that she didn't like the scene they way it was.  So, she decided to take a few people out.  She put me and my friend next to Manny Delgado (Rico Rodriguez), and changed up a few of the actors' lines.  It was awesome being next to Rico Rodriguez!  He was very nice and asked us how our day was and if we were enjoying our time on the show.  After that, the scene was pretty much done.  We checked out and packed up our things and headed home.  It was nice because it wasn't a full work day.  We were looking forward for the episode to come out.  When it finally did, it was a disappointment. Turns out they shot close-ups of the stars.  Therefore, the background wasn't visible in the scenes.  But that's usually how it works.  Positive side, I got paid for a full day and got lots of crafty (snacks and goodies).  Either way, it was an awesome day and I will (probably) never forget it!

My Awesome Experience On "The Lone Ranger" Red Carpet!

Today I will be talking about the time I went to "The Lone Ranger" red carpet. "The Lone Ranger"movie takes place in Texas in the time of cowboys and bank robberies. It was one of my favorite movies mostly because my favorite actor, Johnny Depp, was in it. The event took place at one of the Disneyland Resort's theme parks, California Adventure. My mom and I got in the theme park super early and basically sat and waited around all day for the red carpet event to start. My mom was telling me all day to not be upset if I didn't get to meet or see any great actors. Even though the event didn't start till 4:30 we still we entertained the whole way through. Lots of jugglers, drawing lessons and music helped make sure of that. When the event finally did start it instantly became another one of the best experiences of my life. It started off with a lot of Disney Channel actors from tv shows like "So Random", Jason Dolley and Bradley Steven Perry from "Good Luck Charlie", Cameron Boyce and Karan Bar from"Jessie", the mom and Blake Michael from "Dog With A Blog", and China Anne McClain and Jake Short from"Ant Farm". I managed to get pictures and autographs with all of the actors in those tv shows. Then I got even more autographs and pictures when more celebrities started to show up like Tim Murphy, Johnny Knoxville, Rick Dees, people from Scandel, people from Dancing With The Stars, Bernie Kopell,  Barry Pepper, and James Badge Dale. The last two people who I got autographs and pictures with (who are my favorite) are really famous and talented people. Their names are Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp. They were both very nice and I was particularly star-struck when I met Johnny Depp. He signed a picture I drew of his character, Tonto, and I gave him one of my drawings. After that event I came home with a dazed-face, a phone that ran out of memory because of all the selfies and pictures I took with celebrities, and a big folder full of all the autographs I got. It was the most memorable event of my life and I sometimes still think of all the fun I had there.

My Awesome Experience On A Danimal's Commercial With Odell Beckham Jr. and Matt Ryan!

Today I will be talking about the time I was on a Danimal's commercial. For any of you who don't know what Danimals is, it is good tasting smoothie-like drink with a picture of a happy monkey on it. When I first got to the set, the PA's told us that there were two kids from a Disney Channel show and to not bother them. While the grip crew was getting the scene ready, we went to wardrobe to get our shirts that read "Fuel up To Play 60! Danimals! Sponsored by the NFL!" The commercial was about a contest that involved the NFL and Danimals. The contest was that if you got a golden Danimals bottle in a Danimals package, you won the chance to win a field day with your entire school to play with Danimals and NFL stars (I learned about this way after the fact)! Then when the scene was ready, we walked onto a big football field at a private school. In the scene, we ran on a professional football practice course over and over again.  It was fun.  When the scene was over and we were waiting for the next scene to be ready, I saw Odell Beckham Jr. texting a few feet away! I was very excited and immediately thought of an idea. I quickly grabbed my phone and walked over to him. I stopped in front of him and asked him if I could take a selfie with him. He was very nice and took the selfie himself using my phone (but when the other kids saw what I was doing they ran toward me and attempted to photo-bomb the selfie)! After that, we got to play a game of football with Matt Ryan and Odell Beckham Jr.! It was really funny when a kid tried catching the football in front of Odell, he ended up doing the splits while Odell caught the football with one hand.  The kid did end up catching it when Odell dropped the ball! Then we got to talk to the two Disney Channel stars working on the commercial. Their names are Rowan Blanchard from the Disney tv show "Girl Meets World" and Jake Short from "Mighty Med" and "ANT Farm."  After that, we filmed the rest of the scene and learned how to do the Whip and the Nae Nae from Odell Beckham Jr.! Overall that day was really fun and really cool and I will never forget it!  My cell phone screen is of the selfie us kids took with Odell Beckam Jr...so cool!!!
