    On Assignment II

    So on the same day as the other, I get home at 6:00pm and get a call from my agent and agree to a booking she has set up for me for the following day. Call time 5:30am, 120 miles from home, booked for 10 hours of work (sunrise to sunset).

    This one is a national TV commercial. Big budget stuff. About 80 people on set, real planes, real equipment. We are shuttled to the runway in pre-dawn darkness. I can see great fog around the runway but, again, I only have the wife's T33 PS so can't pull off any good stuff. Did manage to get a few of the plane and posted in this thread:

    Morning on the Tarmac

    They had pulled a 737 off the main runway. The first shot was the wide shot as the sun rose. To get it, the film crew is shooting from the main runway which is only about 100 yards away.

    Images here are:
    1) A few of my fellow actors getting into position for the first wide shot
    2) Wetting down the tarmac to get the slick, early morning look
    3) Setting up for the next shot
    4) Testing the camera movements
    5) Crew's view

    Re: On Assignment II

    ...continuing, next 5:

    1) a few of the many reflectors used that day
    2) setting up for the tight shot around the engine
    3) LUNCH - finally!
    4) lighting crew waiting for more setups while digesting
    5) yet another setup in late afternoon

    Don't know when this spot will air (few months I assume). Obviously, I don't know which scenes will be used so I can't say what to look for (other than a jet ). It's for General Electric - looks to be a pretty funny one.

    Thanks for looking.
