I managed to work as a background actor for Katy Perry’s new music video yesterday.  It was aweeeeesome.  When everyone was done shooting, Natalie, a girl I made friends with there, and I walked out of the church and we noticed the paparazzis waiting for Katy to come out.

“Why not take photos of me?” said Natalie.

“But you’re not Katy!” yelled one of the paparazzis, but he took photos of us anyway, along with the rest of the paparazzis taking photos and filming us posing, feeling like movie stars.

Haha it was rad.

I’m going to shoot again today. The scene is going to be entirely different from yesterday. Yesterday’s took place at a Christian church and today’s is going to be at a warehouse, and we have to dress in our new wave/retro outfits. It should be a fun experience!

PS – more photos in the flickr!

Update 12/10/08: I’ve noticed I’ve been getting a lot search engine referrals such as “Katy Perry music video Jack Nicholson” or “Is Jack Nicholson in Katy Perry’s Hot n’ Cold video?” lately and just to clear the air, a Jack Nicholson LOOK-A-LIKE was there, he is not the real Jack.  Here’s a photo I took with him:
