Well idk how "Magnum" I really am.
So I saw the first episode I extra'd in. Recognized the scene inside the PD bullpen (I was one of the uniformed PD officers walking through the background)... recognized some of the other extras... and I wasn't in any of the final aired shots at all lol
This latest episode (4) that just aired. Once again just saw the SWAT scene. I *think* I'm one of the guys just barely visible as we run up from behind the SWAT truck outside the building we're stacking up on. Can't really be sure cuz we're all wearing the same black SWAT uniforms and helmets (and the shot was off to the side and maybe half a second in frame lols) but the close up shot where they filmed the first 3 or 4 guys breaching (and then the camera zooms into the main detective character waiting outside) I was def not in either.
Ah, such is the glamourous Hollywood life of fame and fortune I'm in
Though I *think* (hope?) I'll be more visible in the "SWAT raids a hospital" scene in a few episodes hahah.
Plus now that strike has been averted they sent out an email with like 3 or 4 more shoot days they want us for that only one of which was a work day at the Fire Station so there's a few more chances for my half second of fame and glory lols
In a similar vein, thanks to COVID numbers falling below a hundred new cases a day, the Department has decided to lift our "Station bubbles" (where basically we were only allowed to work in our own station. Only OT if the other shifts were short, no matter how short staffed any nearby stations were, unless they were too short to stay in service). Now they lifted it to a Battalion bubble, so can work OT within our Bn (though most of the available OT is well, outside the Bn in the others), relieve at different stations to plus up when they're running shorter crews and all that.
Basically I'm getting what is my first OT shift at a different station in like 2 or 3 months this week lol
