Here's one I won't get

I had an audition today  at a production company that I've worked with before on the business side of my life, doing videos for a law firm client. So I was prepared to run into people I knew from that work. And I did -- the senior guy on that project.

What I didn't expect was the others. Coming out of the audition room was a different producer who I worked with several years ago on an industrial. He recognized me -- not that I'm so memorable but he spent hours looking through a camera lens at me, and then more hours in a studio editing my images. So that was kind of funny, and by that time the other guys in the waiting room thought I was a ringer or something.

Then I go in for the audition and the guy running it also recognizes me. I did an industrial with him several years ago for the same product I was auditioning for today.

Weird. Of course, I don't expect to have any edge because of that -- commercial stuff doesn't really work quite as much off connections as other things do. But it was kind of funny. 

And it also pretty much guarantees that I won't get it. But it was a good week -- four pretty good auditions. Hopefully something will come of it.
