Had a very long day on account of a late Callsheet going out, but I didn't want my naff experience to be the star of today's anecdote.
There's a recurring on set joke every block that it's our Script Supervisor's birthday (even though it isn't). This bit started off as a very harmless prank as the crew all sung her the birthday song during protests of 'It's not today guys!!' It turned into one of those gags that only got funnier the more we did it. Today was to be the forth, and final fake birthday celebration, so we wanted to send the home out with a bang. Firstly, a cake, which I helped to organize and collect. Then, we arranged it on a day where a live band plays music for our dancing cast members, well we got them to sing happy birthday during the presentation. It turned into such an elaborate hoax that our Scripty simply had to go along with it, even as the rest of us were leaning crazy hard into the bit, laughing all the way.
It's been a grueling week for a lot of us, but it was nice to have played a part in bringing a lot of joy to a lot of people. It will certainly be a 'birthday' to remember.
