Cool Update

I went to the set of Criminal Minds this week to do some research on an upcoming TV show (hint, hint for big announcements soon to come) and it was so awesome.  If you watch that show (everyone should!) everyone on crew was so nice.  They let me sit in the chairs and watch the monitors and got my special headphones to here the dialogue and the scenes (very intense!).  Anyway, I was amazed by a few things:

1) There are soooooo many people to make one show. Literally hundreds of people were on set.

2) Even in little rooms there are twenty people shoved in trying to act/film/direct/record/watch/produce…amazing truly.

3) There is a lot of waiting around in TV (but at least everyone was funny and nice so it wasn’t too bad).
