when I lived in Miami & in school I did some extra work. I worked on Bad Boys II for 4 days long days too like 12+ hrs for $100 a day. On the plus side it was on the beach surrounded by the hottest women in South Beach looking to be discovered. in general it is really boring work though.

I was an extra in Herman Wouk's Winds of War when it was filmed in Vienna, Austria.

Got a free haircut, food, jacket and tie to wear, and daily pay of $20 or $30.

Also got to march and do the Nazi salute.

Tres cool.

Quote:

Paid extra work ain't much better, I got $50 when I appeared as an extra in a film I was crew on in 99. At least I was prominent and identifiable in the background of a shot that was in the final cut.

So they want me to hang around for 12-14 hours on a week day (i.e. taking of work) and to compensate me they'll give me free food and "prizes". What kind of "prizes" are we talking about? Does everyone get a "prize" or is it a drawing? They'd better be really nice prizes and not some crappy "Diminished Capacity" ball cap or a Matthew Broderick autograph.

On second thought, I've got better things to do.
