My 15 Seconds of Fame

[Jessie_K]

Recently, at Voyage de la Vie, we did a special feature with the host of the local morning show, AMLive (ChannelNewsAsia).  He was filming a series of segments that involved him learning various jobs very quickly and then doing them for a day.  The series was called "Crash Course." 

The last segment was ours and he came to learn how to be a circus performer.  We shot over 2 days including training, make-up and costumes and, of course, his appearance in the show.

Here is a link to the youtube clip of the whole feature.  I appear in it 3 times.  Twice just walking in the background in a colorful skirt- during training around the time that he gets new shoes and then in the make-up room.  And then I cue him and the other performers to go onstage.

Here is a second link to a 15 second "behind the scenes" clip of me and the host marveling over an acrobat's abs.

Nice!  Good to see you, if only in an online video

I was sitting there thinking "wow, they let him wear those shoes?", when of course you all came in and gave him new ones.

My thoughts exactly re: his shoes. Great videos!

A few years back we had a newscaster who did something similar during our Nutcracker, but instead of him actually doing anything, (we actually had a dancer who looked very similar to the newscaster), there were several splices during the video using the professional dancer.

Very nice!
