There are a lot of things that make NYU really unique. The campus space is an indefinite area centered around a public park, being nonconformist places you in the community majority, and every morning a small man forcefully reminds you exactly how late you are. So yesterday, in addition to all these things, I got to experience another unique part of NYU life: I got to participate in a Tisch student production.
With the amount of filming that Tisch students do, they often need their friends to help out in small ways. So, it's not uncommon to have Tischie friends ask you to do an interview, make sound effects, or be an extra in their movie. However, when my friend Craig asked me to help him out, his request was a bit different. For his final project, he's making an episode of a morning show, and he asked me to act in his cooking segment -- except it wasn't really acting because I wasn't really pretending.
It was kind of cool to have someone want to video tape me, because usually I have to force my friends to do it for me. I had a lot of fun during the shoot, but it turned out to be a lot more difficult than I thought. We were shooting live-to-tape, we were having technical difficulty with the sound, and I was working with real-live actors, which made me kind of nervous. Despite all the hard parts, Craig told me that the shoot went well, and that I did a good job. I'll try to upload a clip from the final product, but if I can't do that, then I can always shoot my own segment from "Master Chef Ramil's Kitchen."
