MTV: "Hey Amanda, are you available? It's just for an easy one day shoot"
Amanda: "Absolutely! What does the shoot entail?"
MTV: "Eh... it's really easy, actually. Should be a fun day."
Well it turns out, they hired me for 3 days (prep, shoot and wrap) for a SEGWAY. Seriously, all I had to do was arrange rental and delivery for the segway, "decorate" the segway and one small detail I didn't find out until the day of... RIDE the segway. Oh yes, and also teach Murs how to ride one as well.
MTV: "Well, who else is going to hold onto the segway when the talent isn't on it?"
This could have ended horribly. But after a five minute crash course from the segway guys, I nervously rolled off to set. And a funny thing to mention about set, it was in COMPTON. We started at Watts Towers, off to Compton and wrapped at Fat Beats with a live performance.
Murs is an awesome guy. And he actually moves quite well on a segway. We kind of fought over it at certain points.
I just imagine seeing some little white girl zipping around a patriotic segway in Compton. Priceless.
