Seconds From Disaster-9/11

I was asked if I would help out as a supporting artist on a TV docu-drama 'Seconds From Disaster-9/11' shown on The Discovery Channel. As I had nothing else booked in I thought this would be a great opportunity to experience what it was like to work in front of the camera and also see what it was like to work as a supporting artist.

This docu-drama re-enacted and told the stories of survivors from the Twin Towers, all of which were amazing to learn about whilst also being harrowing tracing and re-enacting the steps of what they went through.

This experience has defiantly helped me to understand how important the job of being an SA is and also how to relate to supporting artists, who have to spend a lot of time hanging around waiting to be needed. We did a lot of waiting, ate a lot of biscuits and drank a lot of coffee! Although when we were needed I did not miss having the time off the gym as we were reconstructing survivors who had escaped down the stare wells we did a lot of walking down stairs and climbing back up them to re set for each take!
