Cut! Aaannddd……That's a wrap!

November 10th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in The Sisterhood | by christy

So  many of you know I was chosen to be an Active for Life Challenger by EA SPORTS Active. If you didn’t know,  you can check out my post about it here. So about a week after I was selected, my contact at EA SPORTS, KP (@Active_Girl), emailed and asked if I could get away to San Francisco for a commercial shoot. Yeah, I had to read that email about 10 times before I believed it!

I arrived in California on Sunday and had wardrobe fittings. I basically tried on a gazillion different outfits and had my picture taken in each one, so the producer could choose what he liked best.

Some of the options were no so pretty, and many of them were full-on spandex, which I try to avoid at all costs. HELLO!!!!
UM, NOT!
Yesterday, I was picked up and taken to the studio, which was really just a converted warehouse, for the shoot. I was wardrobed, and approved by the EAS folks, then I hit hair and make-up, and finally I got to sit and wait some. The great thing about sitting and waiting was I got to meet and get to know Renee. She’s seriously awesome!

The rest of the day was simply amazing. Like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. With over 50 people on the crew, the place was hopping. It was also very hot because of the bright lighting. I was also comfortable, had coffee or water in my hand, and everyone made sure I had everything else I needed. Seriously, these people rocked!

Here are some more shots from the shoot!

You can keep an eye on my Flickr page for more pictures!
I’m not sure when the commercial will air, or where it will air, but I’ll be sure to let everyone know, so we can see if I made the cut!

Aaannnd……that’s a wrap!

    That is so cool! I actually *kind of know* someone who may be on television! You look great, and what an awesome experience for you. If you do make the cut, PLEASE record the commercial and post it for all to see. Because we don't get American commercials over here, and I would *love* to see it too!
  • I will hopefully be getting a copy of the commercial, and if I can, I will be posting it here!!!

    How fun!!! This has got to be like a dream! And you are seriously making me want a Wii Fit
  • Do you already have a Wii? You don't need to the Wii Fit board for EAS Active Personal Trainer or More Workouts!! Just the game console :)
  • tlb81003
    Saddly there is no Wii here. I'm seriously behind the times. Love to get one but it just isn't going to happen anytime in the near future ya know. Okay, out to the treadmill I go.
  • I'm askin for a Wii for Christmas. Good to know I don't need the Wii fit board to use EAS Active. Love THAT!

  • I was actually in Pleasanton, which is a suburb of SF, from Sunday till this morning. I hit SF today and am leaving early, early in the morning!
