Movie Fight Scenes, Liam Neeson, and Doggie Dinos

So this week I got to be in my first movie! I've been in TV shows like the Carrie Diaries and Law and Order SVU and now "Run All Night" with Liam Neeson! I was featured on camera too! I was waiting in the fancy actors tent and the director randomly called me and was like "Ok, you're going to be one of our featured couples, you're gonna hold this guys hand and walk by the fight with Liam." Turns out the guy I was partnered with was one of my friends I had met previously on the set of The Carrie Diaries! I was surprised at how many people I had met previously that were on set! Guess the acting world is just as small as the music world! I was glad to run into so many of my friends because the shoot was overnight for 12 straight hours both days! When I was on camera I got to witness a fight scene up close and personal! Lets just say...It was possibly the coolest thing ever. I never realized just how choreographed fights in movies are! I just assumed people threw punches and ducked. NOPE. Each move is so calculated and is the same every time! When you're that close, you can see how when Liam Neeson throws a punch, it isn't even close to hitting the other guy! there was a good 6 inches between fist and face! Every time a fight scene is in a movie, theres always some sort of music or noise in the background but when it's being filmed, there's silence! all you can hear are random grunts from the fighters. If I didn't know there was a fight going on, I would have assumed a few guys were struggling to move a heavy piece of furniture because all I heard was "MUHHHHH, GRUHHHH, and UHHHHH!" Liam is so tall! He's really nice and chill off camera and so were all the other actors! I got to meet Joel Kinnaman the other lead actor too, he was covered in fake blood and still looked good! The entire scene was filmed in a subway and I must say I'm so glad the scene called for us to wear winter clothes because being outside 12 hours was FREEZING!!! I still had fun though :) Hopefully I'll be in another movie soon! Here are some pictures of the set, camera, and props!

Now on a completely unrelated to acting note, I entered my dog Chloe in a costume contest! It was a blast! I used to dress my poor dog up all the time as a kid but this was serious business! We were dressing for the win! She was a Raptor Dinosaur and I must say, wore it very well. My dog acted like a total super star and WORKED that raptor suit. Unfortunately she didn't win but we had so much strutting in front of the judges and looking at all the dogs in their costumes! (I felt like one of the pageant moms on toddlers and tiaras when I was competing!) All I can say is thank god I'm not as competitive with my dog as I am with performing or it could have gotten ugly haha!
