An experience as a movie extra (please, help me to correct mistakes)

Good day!

Do you know the soviet cartoon about the difficulties of making a movie, which called “Film, Film, Film”? If you don't I recommend watching it. For the first time I saw this one as a child, although its an adult cartoon (made by Soyuzmultfilm in 1968). You will get a lot of positive emotions while watching it, because this cartoon has good humor and it's ironic.

And now I want to tell you one short story about my experience as a movie extra. It was only two times, but both has been fun. The first one was a few years ago and it was hard for me, because I spent most of my time doing nothing. Sometimes movie extras should have jumped and screamed on camera for about five minute, and then we were doing nothing for hours again... But on the plus side, we had a lot of free time to talk with a film crew and follow a process of the movie making. And I think the hardest aspect of this is doing nothing for a long time. Meanwhile, a day of filming may last more then 24 hours. But I'm lucky that it continued for about 12hours.

The second time happened this past year and I truly liked it! One of the reasons why it was superb for me is because it was a movie about the fifties of the past century, you know, all that retro style... Second reason is because I was with my dancing friends, and we had a really fantastic time. We should have danced to my lovely Lindy hop and had fun during our action scene. Of course, we were doing nothing for hours the same as the last time, but this time I liked scenery and that all our dancers had professional makeup and special clothes for this movie. Our day of this filming lasted for about 14 hours. Those were great and fantastic hours of my life. By the way, I made some money as a movie extra. :)
