I get up, take a shower & get dressed all by 5:30am because Camerons video shoot starts at 6:30 & we have a 30 minute drive ahead of us.
I would never dream of waking up this early, ever, even for school but I did sign a contract for this publicity thing & I don't want to disappoint Cameron.

"You ready?" he asks at the front door.

I nod my head & slide into my sneakers before tying them.

When we reach his car, I start admiring how the sun is just coming up due to how early it is.

He puts on the radio & starts singing along to a soundtrack from his previous movie.
He seems so into it & dances a little while driving so I secretly record because of how funny I find it.

He moves his hair & shoulders around a lot & adds a lot of expressions, mainly funny faces & I can't help but giggle a little. I always knew he was a normal human being off the cameras.

"So, how does it feel to wake up this early?" Cameron asks when the song changes.

I find my self about to fall asleep but get right back up at the sound of his question.
"Oh...ya know...not a morning person...& never will be!"

He laughs. "I hope you aren't those cranky people who need the extra sleep".
He lookes closer towardes my face. "Wait? are those eye bags under your eyes? & wrinkles?...either you're a cranky old witch...or just secretly an old lady" he jokes.

I swat his arm in a joking way. "Hey! you should see Jess when she doesn't get her sleep! that's when you have to evacuate the house & move to China".

Cameron chuckles. "Sounds like me when I first started my career, but I did get used to it".

I giggle because he started his career at a young age which is the age you're allowed to be cranky & tired when you didn't get enough sleep.

When we arrive to the video shooting studio, it's big & full of green screens all over. I assume, Cameron is going to do a few stuff on screen as a promo so he can reveal that he's playing the part.

They get him dressed in dirtbiking gear & place him in a helmet & on a dirtbike on top of the green screen.
There's a huge green slide coming down from the top & I cringe at how dangerous that can be but he's proffessional & this is a proffessional set.

I watch him make loud starting noises on the dirtbike & he places the front of his mask on his eyes before riding down. I watch his smirk go up & his acting is in place.
Cameron told me a little bit about his part. He plays a fearless dirtbike rider & can be rude sometimes.

I watch Cameron do insanely big tricks that most people would need a stunt double for.
He really is talented, unless they replaced him with a stuntdouble when I blinked but that wouldn't make any sense.
It's crazy how much talent he has. That's what Jess always bragged about, that he can , Dance insanely good, sing incredible with an angelic voice & act with so much passion right when the director yells "action". He gets into charactor right away & now he can do his own stunts? I don't know why I find it so impressive but it's just crazy to see this in real life because on TV is where they show all of the special effects & you know that the scene ended well if it's on screen.
Here, you don't know because he's in the middle of it & can break his leg at any time.

When Cameron comes all the way down on the green screened slide on his dirtbike for the 5 time, he removes his helmet to hold in his arm & smirks at the camera.

"...And Cut!" the director yells.

That was quite an introducement to his charactor.

Cameron gets off the dirtbike & takes off the jacket he was wearing & gets some water before he goes back in to change for the second time.
They're probably shooting another promo because whenever I wait for my favourite movie, a bunch of promos for it are on Youtube & Instagram which makes me eager for it to actually come out.
