Post Mortem

I live to tell the tale of my first day on set!

Gut reaction:
  • very low budget (but NOT no budget)
  • very nice people
  • love the director of photography & head of SFX makeup
  • other PAs were nice
  • a bit unprofessional
  • people seemed impressed with what I knew and how I worked

I don't know if I would work for them again or not - I guess it depends on how bored I am.

BUT! New TTRS:

Striker: Extension cord

Strike: Turn on

Screen Frame: What is in the picture/shot (called out to calculate sound boom placement)

Tomorrow I am going to be on the set of Californication (a hit Showtime series). I plan on watching an episode of it today so I have a clue of what is going on. I will be a volunteer PA/shadowing the 1st assistant director. She's an alum which makes it more understandable as to why I have this awesome opportunity.

Well, I have to rest today as yesterday was a 14 hour work day and tomorrow's going to be the same.
