A day at the beach.

Had a shooting for a Fuji TV drama this saturday. As is usually the case, the whole script was in Japanese, so I can only guess as to what it was about. Insomuch as I could see, the main characters were in some kind of sports competition, and one of them had to race me (the bad ass) to capture the flag. By the time we started filming though, I'd figured out what the director's vision for the scene was, and as always, I did my best to give it to him- and had fun doing it. I think the finished product should be pretty entertaining. The only downside to it is that 1) I had to lose the race- (which I more or less expected) and 2) to make it look convincing, I had to slide in the sand... and it was the type of sand with huge granuals, and lots of seashells mixed in with it. Very nice to walk on, but a B*TCH to slide in. By the 10th take, I felt like I'd lost all the skin on my arms and legs. Overall a good day though. It was nice to have a day at the beach, and get paid for it. The show will be on Fuji TV (channel 8) at 11pm on the first Saturday in August for those who are in Japan, and can check it out. Should be pretty cool. ;)
