The Audition

Some of the accidents that happened in this little 5minute video did happen unintentionally while recording. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. I'm still amazed that I never broke character after those things broke on me. I guess I was too into the performance that I forgot it was funny. I wanted to play on some personal experiences in this clip. A long time ago, I went to do an audition for a McDonalds and Airheads commercial. I had no idea what they wanted so they read me situations and I had to act them out in the audition. I didn't get the parts, but I did find out what the auditions were for. McDonalds Commercial - A group of people in McDonalds getting food and spending cash at the till. Mats Sundin apparently is one of the customers and sits down in a crowded area of McDonalds. Someone starts to chant "We love Macs! We love Macs!" Mats Sundin looks around and smiles, but then is told by someone that they are chanting "We love Macs" and not "We love Mats!" Commercial was rubbish anyway. Apparently the only ethnic person in the commercial was the Asian behind the till telling Mats "Have a good day!" AirHeads Commercial - I have not seen the commercial personally, but I had to act out a situation. The situation was that I was in the Arctic. I crawl out of an igloo and pretend to throw an Airhead taffy stick. Then I'm supposed to do some mundane thing and duck at the right moment as the airhead zings right past me. I didn't get this job either and I'm glad. I guess I looked like an Inuit to the casting director. I questioned about the point of the whole scene, because it seems like I was chucking a boomerang... They got the cultures crossed. I guess they didn't like that. The idea seemed unoriginal anyway.
