Attention all Bus Conversion owners who want to be just like Robin Williams

Gary, quit leaving the"T" out of ol trunt.  It's bad enough that my truancy kept me from learning how to spell without you  capitalizing on my short comings .  Jack

Ah Hollywood.  Just a few quick notes.

Demand to see their insurance policy.  A legit company will be happy to give you a copy.  Make sure your covered by their policy.

Average pay for a below the line worker is at least $250.  Trust me, the thrill of working in the film business diminishes in the first couple of hours.  12 hour days are common.

Way back in the Nineties I was hiring water trucks to wet down the road (not on camera)  at a rate of $800 a day, standby. 

So check it out, it can be fun, and certainly you will learn about the film biz.  But don't be blinded by "Hollywood".

And remember,  "Its only a movie, it ain't worth dyin for".

I just want to mention that no one has to take their bus anywhere that they don't want to as this it totally optional. However if you are serious and interested and want to know more about this, it is a legitimate offer and if you have any doubts that this is some kind of a scam, please do not participate. 

But for those of you who are serious about this then please contact Mike Ortiz at the email address above. I am in no way affiliated with this producer, I am only trying to help him out.  I know there is a lot more to this and Mike will be able to fill you in on more details but this is Hollywood and if you are lucky enough to participate, as Van who frequently works in Hollywood will attest to, you will be required to sign a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) before you will be given any more than the basic details.  Which means that after you sign the agreement, you will not be able to post any details about this event on this Forum or any public forum or even tell your friends until the show is aired. But this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see what goes on behind the scene and can be very interesting for some people.

I was involved with one reality show last year regarding bus makeovers and was on the set while they were shooting, I am also involved with another one that is in the works now which should air this fall, and this one which currently in the casting stage. I myself find working on these shows very interesting but that is not to say that everyone will enjoy being involved in a TV show.  So unless you want to be involved you can say all you want on this Forum, but those that are showing some kind of interest email Mike for more details and also include your phone number as well.

Also, Mike is monitoring this Forum and I am sure he would rather work with someone who has a positive attitude.  As Van can also attest to I am sure, a Producer has a lot on his hands and he would much rather work with someone who is cooperative than someone who may end up arguing with him on the set.

I wonder what they are paying for daily bus rentals now.  Wheni I did it regularly, I was getting $1,000 for a 12 hour day plus $150 for the driver, admittedly in the NYC/NJ area.

I just talked to Mike Ortiz and he still needs a bus with bunks in it.  If you have a bus that has bunks built in, contact Mike at mikeortizbjj@sbcglobal.net and send him a couple of photos of the inside of yous bus.  If you can be in LA around June 1st, then you may see your bus on TV soon.
