I got a job in film.
 

Yesterday my dad took me on set for Final Destination 3 to meet the director of photography. It turned out that the locations crew was short handed so the Assistant Loacations Manager asked me if I wanted to work.

Of course I jumped at the opportunity. I was doing the work of a production assistant. This job is anything but glamorous. The job explanation is that PAs make sure that the set is a safe and comfortable environment. So that means we clean, guard, and do many other miscellaneous duties.

I worked about 14 hours and made roughly $160 canadian. At the end of the day the ALM said that as far as he's concerned, I've got a job. Guess all of my working my ass off impressed him. So now I get to work on films in the summer.

It's not the most glorious work but it gets me on set, pays decent, and gives me practical experience.

Plus I can tell people that I worked on Final Destination 3.

Glee.

That's AWESOME! Who knows, maybe this will help you get into the movie industry as a real player.

Or whatever.

Are you going to be in the credits? I'd bloody go to the movie in theatres just to see that.


/me shrugs and walks away

That's cool. I've worked on a few professional musicals. It's always a big rush and lots of fun, well, normally.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

Doubtful. I only day called as a production assistant. But there's always a very slim chance.

I'll tell you all more about the experience when I have time.

I'll be sure to watch the movie. heh.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

Damn you! I'm hyped for FD3 after the first/second were awesome, IMO. I envy you...

Re: I got a job in film.
 

Even if your name doesn't show up on the credits I can safely see the movie and say, "Hey I know a guy who worked on set!"

hehe good job man.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

oh man AWESOME... dont forget the little guys!!!!!

Re: I got a job in film.
 

Sounds like a great opportunity. Be sure to keep working hard so that you'll have good recognition and reputation.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

It's great to hear that man. I'm sure you're trying your darndest to get your foot in the door, so use this oppurtunity well.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

That's cool, congrats on the job. :D

Do you get to see any actors? If so, I guess it's not allowed to bother them.. :p and you better not, if you want to keep your reputation. :)

Re: I got a job in film.
 

There are always actors about. But I don't really care enough to bother them. I don't think they're a very big deal.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

unless it's Jessica Alba or Angelina Jolie :p

Re: I got a job in film.
 

I saw Jessica Alba when my dad was working on Dark Angel.

Didn't care.

Heh.
