Default 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.

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

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.

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.

I just worked two days on this show called The Collector.

Two days of hell, I tells ya.

But I think I may be getting work next week on some Samuel L. Jackson movie called Pacific Air Flight 121.

Man...I was enjoying summer too...

At least the money is good.

You're doing a good job networking your way into Hollywood. I have yet to land any jobs or make any friends.

The best card in my hand right now is a tour of Pixar on August 25th.

This time please take pictures.

I'm staying the hell away from Hollywood as much as I can.

Also, I don't think it would look good if I brought a camera and started snapping pictures.
