I have no idea. All I know is that I had written up Peter connection last and when I published it you couldn't see it. When I highlighted the area the text showed up so either it was a weird glitch or the text color had been changed. Either way it is fixed. Jake lives in a world where Peter exists.

Don't tell Miso, she doesn't need to know what I write about her using the background color.
Also, Peter likes Jake a lot now. <3 Hmm, childhood memories... the good kind, not the ones of him being tortured in private school somewhere in the middle of London. *Cough*
EDIT: It wouldn't be odd that Peter wouldn't exist to some people. :(

Well, that is Max in a nutshell, although I wouldn't say he was exactly ignorant about the industry part. He's already made the mistake of letting people know he made a mistake.

Also, anyone's thoughts on Teapot's idea of the movie?
Do we want to go there? Is it something we think our characters would like producing? Would it create enough friction and drama that we could work off of to move the plot forward? Will it be something that just stagnates?
Just so we know a solid direction to go, in terms of where we want the RP to go.
I changed it to 'willingly naive' as a quip to his optimism. Yeah, don't think generalizing the optimism to ignorant is right. Peter just doesn't understand the happy-go-luckiness of his attitude.

I like that plot idea. Who really cares if it's original as long as it's interesting to others? Innovation doesn't exactly mean that it's good.
It's like you guys say, It's not like we're making the movie. That plot would get things going and it can have moments where all the characters can have something to do! I like it :)

This is so bad. >< I hate writer's block.
But yeah. Model actress extraordinaire.
I'll add more depth to her later.
Name
Leila Anne Fox
Gender
Female
Age
21
Position
Actress
Appearance
Leila looks like someone straight out of a fairy tale. Her bright red hair contrasts with her pale skin, and despite the grooming she does, it always seems like there's a wild tendency in her hair, as if there's an eternal breeze whipping it around. Her bright green, almond shaped eyes seem like they're piercing into your soul when she makes eye contact with you. Her ivory skin is speckled by freckles dotted across her face--a trait common within redheads. Standing at 5'9", Leila can tower over people, especially when she's in heels. She has a habit of fiddling her fingers in her hair, usually twisting a strand around her finger when she's nervous. Other times she can be found pushing her hair out of her face.
Personality
If Leila is going to compare herself to anything, it would be to a willow tree.
There's just something soothing about the long branches swaying in the wind, quietly adding beauty to the landscape. In a way, Leila is the exact same way. She always has a soft smile residing on her lips, as she quietly stands off towards the side. There's a quiet demeanor to this young lady, and she avoids being in the center of everything, preferring to observe life whirling around her. It almost seems as if she runs on a different flow of time from everyone else, there's a noticeable lack of hurry and urgency in the way she moves. She appears as if she's wading through water, with the graceful, flowing movements. There's just something soothing about her, and she's the best person to calm a situation down.
Leila is a quiet girl, introverted and more of an observer. She's rather shy when it comes to social interaction, and has a hard time approaching people. Almost all of her conversations are sparked by someone else--which is perfectly fine, it's what she wants. Once she gets into a comfortable conversation with anyone, she opens up and shows more of an energetic, outgoing side. It's just the approach that she's too shy to do. Until she gets to really know someone, Leila would rather sit by herself and be alone, not wanting to seem clingy in any way. When people don't strike up a conversation with her, she's usually found alone, wishing that someone would.
There's just something different about Leila. Perhaps it's the way she talks. She's been known to come up with strange, elaborate metaphors to express her thoughts. It's one of the reasons why the interviewers love her, she comes up with strange, interesting responses on occasion. The way she thinks is a little off and out there. Leila also is rather morbid, and has a fascination with darker, creepy things. She doesn't express this as much as she could though, instead toning it down and keeps it inside herself.
When people say redheads are fiery, passionate, and wild, Leila doesn't seem to have any of those traits at first glance. But she has that fire in her, it's just burning quietly, as opposed to the roaring flames that the other redheads may have. She gets underestimated a lot, and what people fail to see in her is that fire flickering within. Her willpower and passion seem nonexistent under that quiet exterior, but it's there. It may be even more powerful than some people. She gets that wonderful shine in her eyes when she's passionate about something.
Her introverted and reserved nature doesn't seem to fit one of a person who's constantly exposed to the spotlight, but there's nowhere else than she would rather be. There's nothing that Leila loves more than performing, and she becomes a different person in front of the camera. She's a chameleon, able to embody different emotions and looks, proving herself very versatile in her career. Her creative, artistic side really shines through, and so does her passion. Give her something to act out, to sell, to embody, and BAM, you've got exactly what you wanted--you just didn't know it when you asked.
Leila is definitely talented, but there's something holding her back. She has trouble truly letting go and being in the moment for what it is. One of the biggest things that trip her up is her intelligence and analytical skills. Those are wonderful skills to have, she truly is smart, and she loves analyzing a problem, people, situation, or whatever it is. But she gets too caught up in her head that she never really truly feels the moment. Over analysis is one of her biggest downfalls, and she's been struggling with that lately.
Biography
When you're as shy and quiet as Leila, it's pretty likely that you become the victim of bullying. She was no exception to this generalization. Leila was bullied, taken advantage of, and all of that good stuff when she was younger. It really took a toll on her self confidence, and at the time, she walked with her shoulders bent forward, with her face hidden behind her hair. Her green eyes would often be filled with tears, and every night, she would cry in her mother's arms. Of course, this would worry any good parent, and the concern was growing on a daily basis for Mr. and Mrs. Fox. It worried them, especially when they realized they couldn't remember the last time they saw joy in her eyes. This continued well into high school, and while Leila suffered everyday, she endured going to school day after day because she loved learning.
Then, something amazing happened. She was walking home from school and she was approached by someone, and uttered the words that would change her life.
"Have you ever considered modeling?"
Mind you, it wasn't one of those creepy perverts who pretended to be someone legit, it was the real deal. After some careful consideration, Leila decided to try her hand at it. It was magical. Leila discovered that she could come alive in front of the camera, and the camera loved her. She received raving reviews from the photographer and the creative consultant. From that first photo shoot, Leila knew what she wanted to do. From then on, she went to agencies, hoping to get signed. This wasn't exactly a smooth ride, she was rejected by many due to her quiet demeanor. She was signed by a small local agency, but that didn't matter to her. Modeling was what brought Leila out of her shell, after years of bullying. Now a junior in high school, everyone noticed that the way she carried herself was different, more confident. She still wasn't the most popular person, and there were still some bullying incidents, but to Leila, the whole word looked different.
After some local commercials and ads, Leila was discovered by a famous photographer, who wanted to feature her in his portfolio. This was another great moment in her life. Because of the influence the photographer had, Leila skyrocketed to fame. She booked many jobs, became the spokesperson for famous brands, walked in fashion shows, and appeared on many magazines.
Leila decided to trickle into acting, receiving small roles in some TV shows, starring as a guest in some as well. She's been an extra for a really popular movie, but this is her first role that's actually not too small.

Luke Clemens
"When I was younger, I didn't really watch pay attention to him because I didn't have to. All the girls in my school freaked out about him all the time. It was like one of those times, when something is so mainstream and popular that you can't stand it a moment longer, so you don't have anything to do with it. But you know what? This was the one time that I should've listened to the melting ice jackanapes. I finally sat down and watched one of his movies, and it was like I was seeing the light after being locked in a parallel world full of death and suffering--oh, I'm sorry. I suppose it's not much of a parallel world. Anyways, it was absolutely amazing, his skill as an actor is wonderful.
What? I mean, yeah, he's really attractive, but I'm not one of those girls with the fake boobs that only know how to judge someone by their sex appeal. Stop, don't look at me like that! Any interest I have in him is strictly professional, and despite his age and inexperience, I think that he'll do a great job. End of story."
Maximillian Harrison
"There's a bright aura surrounding him. I feel like I need sunglasses to look at him, I really do. He's blinded himself by his own bright shine, dimming any undesirable qualities that he doesn't want to see. I have a feeling, that if I were to sneak into his house and slash up his bed, smash all of his windows, and write threats with blood on the walls, he wouldn't notice... Too far? I'm sure he'd notice by then. Or at least, I hope that he would. I kind of admire his naivete, but it's concerning that someone older than me lacks the caution and maturity that I seem to observe in the most successful stuntmen in the world.
As a stuntman, he's talented, but he's too eager to dive into things without a care in the world. When he jumps off the diving board, I wonder if he would ever look down before he goes, to make sure that there's water down there?"
Harris Klein
"If Harris was a berry, the skin would be stained a dull burgundy, and it would have a very rough texture. But on the inside, it would be a plethora of vibrant colors, and i think that the taste would be very heart wrenching. Whether that tastes good or bad, is up to you. But I think, the Kleinberry is overripe at this point, and it's beginning to rot. The berry bush itself isn't growing anymore, but it's still somehow thriving for life.
He's an admirable actor, and he's a lot more real than the fake people I had to deal with as a model. He's genuine, but I feel that he sees the world through a veil of eternal shades of gray, like a black and white movie. He can see all the shades, but none of the colors are apparent, because his inner berry is all rotten inside."
Jake Wilson
"I think he's more forceful then he lets on, and a bit of a control freak. Jake seems to be very agreeable, but there's something that will boil over inside him when he doesn't get his way... Whatever it is, I hope it isn't vomit.
Jake is very efficient, and his knowledge of the world really allows him to find the best possible location for everything. It's admirable, and I see why he's so sought after in the industry. He actually found the scenery for one of my photo shoots once. It got cancelled, unfortunately when a hurricane ripped through the area prior to the shoot. It was rather disappointing, it was a beautiful place."
Phoebe J. Collins
"I think that cotton candy and lollipops would suit her very well. And balloons... I think she would be right at place in a carnival, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Not in like the 'she's an immature child who would gladly be fooled by the so-called fun houses', or 'she belongs in the circus with the psychotic clowns.' Phoebe's energy just seems like a carnival. Fun, upbeat, a place where dreams come true.
There's nothing sour about her, and while she may seem overly sweet to some people, I think it's refreshing that there are people like her in this industry, because most people around here are sour, rotten gummy worms to the core."
Leo TNB Xavier
"Something about him just says POW POW POW! He has a superior understanding of fashion, and all aspects of clothing which is really impressive. He would make an impressive stylist for a model, but you know, I think being a costume designer for a movie is where his forte is. I think it's something about finding that perfect look for a certain character that really makes him love that job. It's not the same as being a stylist for a model, because as a model, you have to look good in everything, and sell it. The stylist is just someone who makes sure that the combination looks good.
He seems professional on the set, but I ran into him outside of work, and he was very much like a dynamite. Boom!"
Amy Ho
"I think a pencil skirt is the type of clothing that would describe her best. Don't ask me, I don't know why. She's just a pencil skirt. Ummm, I think it's because it's very... Professional, strict, but still can be casual, depending on on it's worn. I really like pencil skirts. Yes, that's a weird way of saying I like Amy. I think, if she relaxed a little, we could be friends.
I think the majority of our coffee supply is consumed by her. I don't really understand it, I don't like the taste of coffee... I've seen her calm down once she's gulped some of the beverage down, so I think that it kind of is her own personal adderall. You know, it makes normal people hyper, but for people with ADHD, it calms them down."
Peter Zolner
"The chance to meet him just filled my heart with joy. He's one of the reasons that I actually began to act, I admire him so much. The way he slips into character is simply amazing, and I'm absolutely gobsmacked that I get the chance to work with him.
I have to admit, meeting him was a bit of a disappointment though. It looks like there's a perpetual rain cloud floating over his head. He's a shell of what he could be. The way he holds himself... It seems like he's expecting someone to hit him with a crowbar. That makes him all the more intriguing though, the air of mystery surrounding him is fascinating. I wonder what his inner demons are..."
Max Goldstein
"He's a walking contradiction. Bossy but not, commanding but not, friendly but not. I don't know what to think about him. i feel that he genuinely wants to be friends with everyone, but I also feel that friendships aren't necessarily a priority for him when he's working. I have no idea if that's good or not. It's not good for someone of his profession to be gentle, but he's making it work, I suppose.
I don't know, I've never really worked with him before."
Addison Matthews
"She's very enthusiastic, like a bouncy ball. I saw her eyes light up when I walked into my audition, so I guess she's a fan of mine or something...?
No, no. Wait. I remember her! She was working with me on a photo shoot when I was just starting out! Oh, hey! I remember now. Ahhh, such memories. We were both so young back then. She was brushing her hair all the time, it was like swoosh! No offense Addison, you're a great girl and everything, but the job of a production assistant serves you a lot better than a model. As a model, you had potential, but you're more for commercials, rather than photo shoots.
I never really got to know her that well though, we were both pretty busy back then, despite the small scale of the project. Maybe I'll get to know her better this time around."
Ella Lindgren
"I remember one time, when someone important--I don't remember who--was ranting and raging about her because she just stood up and left because she was kept waiting for far too long. It was kind of hypocritical actually, since that person was always going on about how 'time is money!!!' And then that person confronted Ella, and they got into a nasty spat. I like her, she gave that person what they deserved.
I feel that there's a story that she's not telling though, maybe if I get friendly with her, she'll tell me what her story is."
But yeah. Model actress extraordinaire.
I'll add more depth to her later.

She was brushing her hair all the time, it was like swoosh! No offense Addison, you're a great girl and everything, but the job of a production assistant serves you a lot better than a model. As a model, you had potential, but you're more for commercials, rather than photo shoots.
I never really got to know her that well though, we were both pretty busy back then, despite the small scale of the project. Maybe I'll get to know her better this time around."

"I remember one time, when someone important--I don't remember who--was ranting and raging about her because she just stood up and left because she was kept waiting for far too long. It was kind of hypocritical actually, since that person was always going on about how 'time is money!!!' And then that person confronted Ella, and they got into a nasty spat. I like her, she gave that person what they deserved.
I feel that there's a story that she's not telling though, maybe if I get friendly with her, she'll tell me what her story is."

All done with the relationships!
If anyone has any concerns or questions in regards to his thoughts, then I'll gladly work 'em over and edit 'em, just say so here or PM me. :) If there's anything I need to explain, do the same. I may have been too vague with some or not have said enough. *nods*
It's in the Poem Hider, right under the hider for his actual CS. :o

Leila. Don't ignore Leila. You guys aren't done yet!
And I'll add this in when I get home, but she can be a little morbid. And she really likes weird metaphors.

Since most people here doesn't have a lot of experience working within the movie industry I made a list of some scenes we could have in this role play. I also thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know that if we are going to be going about this role play like a movie there are going to be several time skips. These are easy to plan, but can be difficult when dealing with people having conversations and other people waiting. Something to keep in mind and perhaps talk about later. Since we aren't actually making a movie of course none of these events are must have scenes, but I think they could be perfect opportunities for character interaction on and off the set.
If people have questions feel free to ask. I am going to get started on my first IC post. I figure it will be my character getting the call that his company is going to be contracted to do location for the movie this role play will be doing. Since they wouldn't tell him what the project is completely until later it shouldn't lock any important information.
Script Read: This is where the whole cast of the movie and a bunch of bigwigs come together and read the script. This is often done in front of a group of reporters and usually has a party like atmosphere before and after the reading (It is a non-fancy party so actors and the like have been known to show up in jeans and a t-shirt while producers are in suits and the like.)
Trailer Filming / Early Movie Promotion: This after a few months of filming and is often held during a large break in the production. This could be during a location change or during a planned absence of a cast member. This is where cast members will do one on one interviews with people like E News reporters and Inside the Spotlight shows. They are highlighted usually by a public party where the trailer for the movie is shown and then uploaded onto the internet.
The Grind: This is a term used to describe the largest blog of filming. It usually lasts between 7 to 9 months, but with major films it can be up to a year if you include travel and logistics of everything prepped before hand. Here you see the movie basically being completely filmed and the chaos of the industry in full force. The closer to the end the more chaos there is to handle in every department.
Editing & Promotion: After the filming is complete there is plenty to be done in the editing room. A large portion of the crew and cast are done at this point and will go on promotional tours such as late night talk show appearances. There are often special events that take place such as private screenings of finished sections. This is the biggest promotional push for the movie. Get the actors to stay it is their best work and they are really excited to show it to the world.
Opening Night: The true red carpet moment. All the build up leads to this night. Most of the cast and big name members of the crew will attend. I figure most people know what goes on before the movie and during. There is always an after party and these are often hosted by the director as is a custom started in the mid 50's. These parties are usually where tabloids get their 25,000 dollar photo of some actress near a co-starting actor and rumor mills can start. Though with 24/7 paparazzi that moment can happen just about anytime anywhere.

Maybe she doesn't care?
Nahh, I kid. I confess I got lazy near the end, it's late. I'll edit and add in Leila too!

Only kidding. Anything's cool, even hating him and thinking he's an overrated actor just in it for the moolah. T_T
As for Traveler's post, I think that helps out a butt ton. o_o I'm glad we have people in here who know exactly what it's like to make a movie, big or not. We'll need some actors to churn out. Where are the people who wanna play an actor?! I could make one if we're short, I don't mind that, it just might take a bit. It took the entire day to get an idea for Peter and then the rest of the night to type it up.
I assume most of the RP would take place during 'The Grind', since that's the lengthiest part. I think we could further plan out certain points there, so as not to completely get lost in it and not having anything to contribute to moving that part forward. Kinda like stop points, in which we know where we're heading toward as a group, but can otherwise move the plot forward as we see fit, so we don't limit creativity, but also keep people on track during the RP.
Getting lost in the process is a bad thing. Limiting creativity is also a bad thing. So, yeah, I think certain ideas needs to be put in place in specific areas, in regards to where we want the RP to head toward.

I'm thinking of making an actress (or an actor if that role needs to be filled) as a second character.
Also I approve of the relationships people have put with Amy. I'll follow that example and get some relationships for her as well.
