June 6th (Backdate!): Payin' the Billz

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:37 pm

Will, a bit nervously, pulled up to the studio for his commercial shoot, taking a deep breath.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:39 pm

Sara rubbed his arm reassuringly. "You'll do great, I'm sure." she smiles.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:44 pm

"Ah, there is our puppy!" the director said, grinning at Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:50 pm

"Ah, yes. A, uh, pleasure to meet you."

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:55 pm

"Christopher Maxwell, at your service." he said, shaking Will's hand "And who are these lovely ladies?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:58 pm

Sara blinks. "Me? Uh... I'm his wife..." she says awkwardly.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:01 pm

"And agent," he added quickly.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:20 pm

"A pleasure, a real pleasure to meet you." he said, shaking Sara's hand. "Tell me, do you share your husband's delightful abilities?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:22 pm

"Only kind of..." she says, shifting to marble.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:57 pm

"A living statue." he said, musingly "We could work with that. We could indeed. I've got a lotion advert shooting in a few weeks...."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:58 pm

"So, um, where do we need me?" Will cut in, quickly.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:58 pm

Sara shoots Will a thankful glance as she shifts back to normal.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:06 pm

"Right over here." he said, leading Will and Sara towards a soccer pitch.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:08 pm

"Cute," Will nodded, approvingly.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:17 pm

"We're going with the outline we discussed before." the director continued "Do you need somewhere private to change?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:19 pm

"No, no---I'm fine here," he said, peeling of his shirt to reveal his training uniform underneath.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:35 pm

"Alright, then. I'm ready when you are."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:36 pm

And a moment later, a mutt puppy with floppy ears and a black patch over one eye stood before them, looking up at the now (to him) giant production staff.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 6:18 pm

"Hmmm." Christopher said, pursing his lips a little "I'm not sure about the ears, they might be a little too floppy."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 6:27 pm

"Too floppy?" Will asked, cocking his head.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 7:04 pm

"Too floppy." The director said "And I"m not sure about the coat, either. The white is fine, but all that black makes me think of the German kit."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 7:07 pm

"So...a white dog with perky ears?" he asked, as he shifted into more of a Scottish Westie...

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 8:18 pm

"Could you put on a little England shirt?" he asked "And maybe a touch of floppiness in the ears."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 8:31 pm

He gave a bit of a "really?" look up the guy, but shifted into a white-crossed shirt, with a little flop in the ears.

"Anything else you need...customized?" he deadpanned.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:12 pm

"A female might be preferable." Christopher continued "Or a neutered male."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:13 pm

"NOT being neutered" he...er...she said, shifting. "But I see your point."

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:46 pm

"People are a bit sensitive." the director said "I'm sure you understand, being a father yourself. I think that looks very smart, but perhaps a little more curl on the tail."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:47 pm

"...what would you do without me," she said, concentrating and forming a double curly-cue in the tail.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:07 pm

"Sat through a long and boring doggy casting call."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:08 pm

"Glad to know I'm a step up," she deadpanned.

by **Narrator** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:56 pm

"Plus, you can talk without CGI." Christopher said "Saves us a bloody packet."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:57 pm

"That's what I'm here for.

Though you do spend more on the actor. I don't work for doggy treats," she said, sauntering over towards the field.

by **Narrator** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:44 am

"If you're ready, we'll begin." the director said.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:46 am

"Right. So...what, I kick the ball in the goal, and then say the line? That's all?"

by **Narrator** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 2:29 am

"Yes, although we need you on two legs to kick the ball. Not anthropromorphic, of course."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 2:31 am

"No, of course not.

It's a good thing we're going for the shirt then, right?"

by **Narrator** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 3:09 am

"Perhaps more of a dog-coat."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 3:11 am

"I'm sorry, a what? I'm not familiar..."

by **Narrator** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:06 pm

"I'm sure you've seen them, the little jumper things that dogs wear."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 2:18 pm

"What, like, a sweater?" she asked, shifting into a regular person sweater.
