Wholesome Week Day 3
Teen: Hey is it okay if we take a quick video of you? It’ll only take a second.
Coworker: Uhh… sure, I guess… but Matt would like it more!
Me: THAT’S RIGHT I WOULD
Me: IT’S A GOOD DAY
Me: I GOT A RAPTOR JESUS SHIRT AND MY BEARD IS GLORIOUS
Teen: Okay, we’re just gonna check out a couple books.
Me: My time to shine has come.
Director Teen: Action!
Teen, walking up to me: Can I check these out?
Me: I sure hope so!
Teen, fumbling with their pockets: Uhhh…
Teen, whispering: Shit, where’s my card?
Director Teen: Cut!
Crew Teen: It’s in your backpack.
Me: Oh! I thought you losing your card was part of the bit. I was about to get SO JUDGEY.
Teen: That actually would be hilarious.
Director Teen: Should we just get a shot of you pulling the card from your pocket?
Me: Stay on their right side, zoom in on the pocket.
Director Teen: Uhh… okay. Action?
Teen pulls the card from their pocket.
Me: Okay, now back up and do an over-the-shoulder shot of them handing it to me, and we’ll go from there.
Crew Teen: Yo I thought this guy was the actor not the director.
Me: Wait wait! Right shoulder. Don’t break the 180 rule or it’ll be visually confusing.
Director Teen, doing a great job: Action!
Teen hands me the books, I check them out.
Director Teen: Cut! Perfect! Thank you!
Me: This is what all Civil Service should be like.
