TV Show pilot taping....AWESOME AWESOME DAY...OMG am I hurtin'
from.......Wednesday, June 3, 2009
I cannot imagine bootcamp.I have seen hell and it's name is "me trying to be a dumbass."
I refuse to grow up, and further refuse to act my age!
OK enough. The day was a lot of fun. The 2 days afterwards? not so much.
Go team Blue, Booooooo Yellow and Boooo Red.
We kicked ass in the Growler event, bull dogging our way to the finish line. Hauling 600 lbs of dead weight behind me on a grid iron...on a hosed down flooded and bloody saoking and slippery wet, impossible to gain any any footing, on hand and feet only (no knees)....right after my dog had to do the same stunt but on DRY LAND, and only hauling 2 lbs....... but like that dumb ass hound dog at the end of its rope on Bugs Bunny, when it strangles itself and flips upside down landing on its back, so too did Bub, dammit and they weren't rolling tape.....too bad....now THAT would made some awesome you tube out takes, or legal matter on the disclaimer "no animals were hurt during the filming of this program! But hey Bub is a scrappy little doo! But she did get shy after that 'round-the world' toss. Too funny.
Moving along....to the Dirty Dog event.....Bub was the best in class...top notch performance....highly skilled and ran the obstacle course in the best time by far, inluding, around the pylons, up the ramp, down the ramp, across the balance beam, into the pool, fetch the ball, over the steeple chase hurdles, around the horm, through the tunnel, leaping over the mud, and uponto the podium. Fantastic!
then uh oh...I had to repeat that stunt, but made harder....crawl up over and across while eating ju-jubes off the planks....on all fours through the water, fetch in a bob-for-the-toy fashion, then abs down prone across the rolling barrels, and burst through the wall and crawl thru the tunnel filled with feathers and high speed fanning action, then craawl thru the mud under 18 inch tarp and finally onto podium.
OMG...doesn't reading that just make u exhausted....try doing in the shape and condition I am in, and compete aginst 2 super fit youg adult 20 somethings and their dogs....Jordana with Murphy and Andrew with Ryder, but worthy competitors but let's face it, nothing says champions like experience of this old dog... dawg!
Finally the interviews with the guest hosts....very funny performances from Ayumi Iizuka and Jeff "Boomer" Phillips.
Thanks so very much to everyone fpor making the day so enjoyable. Good luck with the plans to sell it and have this idea become a reality.
Steff Millman( Assoc Producer), Shellie Rubin (Prod Mgr), Barry Davis (Series Producer), Leo Scheman (Director), Kevin Healey (Exec Producer), Christopher Elias (DoP), and so many more.
Leave now!
Audition for BEAT THE DOG -- a TV Pilot (featuring Bub the mutt and yours truly?)
from back on .....Wednesday, June 3, 2009
Interesting opportunity for me and my dog...........While Bub can do several trained tricks and stunts, I thought it would be interesting to audition her for a role on a show.
So we went to the park in Toronto to meet the CD Mercedes De Castro, and 'performed' for her.
Fun and borderline being humiliated some might say, but what a gas!
I wrestled Bub, we had a team meeting in which she walked right out of camera, which no one could have scripted any better, and the piece de resistance....Bub climbed a climb...right after I showed her how!
We waited for the call back...for 6 days, nothing came....and right after the day I had my bleached blonde hair returned to its normal colour....I got the call, "You're booked" Nice! (The bleached blonde hair was a role on a show I just completed a week earlier).
So now we're working towards May 23rd shooting day!
Ruh Roh!
finally tech issues overcome!
Long delay getting sorted out at last...and now I'm back baby!
