I auditioned for a NIKE commercial yesterday

[td the god]

Before my audition the casting director told me that I'd get a call back next week to the final castingcall due to my build. But then it was my turn to audition.
The commercial is for Nike football - anyhow, I severely broke my leg just 3 months ago, and I haven't really done anyhigh aerobic activity since the accident, not to mention my lungs were %++##% up due to my surgery..anyhow - fast forward to yesterday, I went there thinkingthis thing would be easy and I'd be in no problem, but then the director was like, "I need to bust your *%% to show the client that this is truestuff" so he put is through some ******ed repetitive drill ...I WAS DONE after the first go...my turn finally came and I was so gone that I couldn'teven say the lines I had to say...I felt like I was coughing up blood - that's how badly I was out of shape...my legs were jelly

I really want to be in the commercial, but after that performance, who knows...they shoot in BC Canada and will fly us outthere for free and pay us depending on how much we are involved...either way...BC

Good luck to me

My friend was just in one for running. He had to run for 12 hours straight for two days. Got paid like 400 a day or something like that. They treat you goodand give you food, but you dont get to keep any equipment and you have to run like CRAZY. Good luck.

Thats different. Hes like a persona, so theyll pay a ton to keep him, just like the Mac/PC guys. From what I have heard Nike is terrible when it comes to paywith commercials compared with other companies. Not surprising at all.

Good luck man. Hope things work out.

And rehab that leg homey.

They pay to a MAX of $1500/12hr day....the shoot is a 2 day shoot....I'd prolly only get aG total if I get the part....it really aint even for the cash tho....

I just got an email from the director, he is showing the film to Nike today, we'll see whats good....I'm kinda madI wore full under armour that day, even tho it was cold as all hell...they won't be able to see my muscles...
