Working on storyboards and trying to work out a shooting schedule with my cast. So frustrating.

Work

Velcome to my blog. This is my first post...yay. Starting off weak, but that's ok. So yesterday after class I went to work again as a P.A. For a T.V. show called Friday Night Feud. There are quite a few of us that are working on the show from our school KCAI. So we all get along and are able to jump in the flow cause we are already comfortable with each other. It was a wonderfully long day of running up and down flights of stairs hauling monitoring equipment, setting it up, and then the fun part. Trying to get all the cables to work. Nothing like trying to sort through 8 lines of cable varrying from 200 feet to 600 feet. Then having to go round and check all the wireless recievers and make sure they were working properly. But as I have learned time and time again. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. But that is the thrill. Having to think on my toes when the weight is on to figure out what is happening and trying to help sort through everything while acting as an assistant camera man on top of it all. All I can think to myself is that I gotta start somewhere. So I run my happy butt off trying to do the best I can in the hopes of moving through the chain learning as much as I can from everyone I talk to. The veriety of people working on these shoots are so diverse that its not just about making a show. To me it's about experiencing life and stories. This is my story and I think if you have made it this far into it, you may just like what I have to say in the future. Till next time, same bat time, same bat channel.
