A few years ago, I spent a few days in London and Birmingham on the set of the new film ‘Clubbed’. If you look at the movie website and the film poster, it says that I am Executive Producer – which is considerably less glamorous than it sounds – but I learned a lot from the whole experience. And it was great fun to be involved.
Anyway, one of the days on set was as a supporting actor (an ‘extra’, to you and me) and I spent much of the day doing the same thing over and over.
Needless to say, I didn’t have much of an idea what I was supposed to be doing. I couldn’t work out whether we were rehearsing or filming, and so I asked Colin Salmon, the actor who was in the scene with me. His reply contained an important message with wider implications I think:
“I don’t know,” he said. “I never concern myself with it…I just do it every time as if it’s a take. You never know what they’re going to use.”
Can you say you live your life like that – giving it 100% in every ‘scene?’ Or do you sometimes allow your game to slip when you think it’s not important…when nobody’s looking…or when you think the audience isn’t worthy of your very best effort? I know I’ve been guilty of that in the past.
Well I reckon what’s true on a film set, is true in life. You never really know when the important cameras are rolling ~ when you’re in a potentially life-enhancing situation, or in the company of people who have more to offer you than you could ever imagine. It’s only with the benefit of hindsight ~ when you see the film being played back ~ that you realise you missed a massive opportunity by assuming it didn’t matter, when it clearly did.
The only solution is to do what Colin Salmon does – start out with the assumption that every situation, every meeting, every interaction is a ‘take’~ the one that’s going to be used and may have a lasting impact on your future. Give it 100% every time.
When you do, there are massive benefits not just for you, but for everyone you come into contact with.
