Spent my whole day on set today. Did some work adjusting some pieces and doing some colour matching. Finally got to take the pics I needed near the end of the day, although I couldn’t get everything needed as the makeup I was shooting wasn’t complete.
At one point they shot a small interview with me. [...]
It was an experience!
Although the basics are the same regardless of where you shoot, it’s the details that vary and make it quite interesting.
The Indian style of shooting seemed a lot looser and hectic than the US, or Hollywood, style of shooting. It wasn’t as easy to tell who was in what department just by [...]
I have to say that India is pretty amazing. It’s a lot like what I’ve seen on shows on Discovery, National Geographic Channel, etc. But, it also had things that were a surprise to me.
Today was a Hindu holiday, Jendu (sp?). There were people everywhere selling long chains of yellow and orange flowers. People had [...]
Flying over the Thames into London
Airport in Mumbai
I finally made it!
I landed in Goa about 5:30am, local time. I made my way to the baggage claim and waited for my bag.
And waited.
You guessed it….it didn’t arrive! I had to go speak with the luggage manager and he found out that it was still in Mumbai. [...]
Of course!
We got 200 miles away from O’Hare Airport and the captain came on and told us that we were put in a holding pattern. He said we should be on the ground within an hour.
I’ll make my flight to Heathrow. Just hope my luggage does too.
About 1/2 way through the flight I figured out what the “maintenance problem” was…..the toilet! I was in Row 12 and the toilet was in front of Row 9. It had an “Out of Order” sign on it. At the 2-hour mark of the flight the cabin started reeking like an open sewer. It was [...]
I knew there’d be something!
Boarding for my flight to Chicago was delayed and once onboard the captain informed us that there was a minor problem with the plane that will be fixed at O’Hare. Not a big deal but they have to fly at a lower altitude which means it’ll take longer to get [...]
This time I actually got checked in and am sitting at the gate. I’m earlier than I need to be but I’d rather be checked in and waiting than waiting in traffic still needing to check in.
One nice surprise is that my bag was checked all the through to Goa and not just to [...]
Well, I’m off to India (again!) tomorrow morning. I woke up this morning, checked my email and saw I was scheduled to leave in 24 hours. This time I’m going to Goa. I’m flying through Chicago, London, Mumbai (Bombay) and into Goa.
