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.

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.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

That's awesome. :)

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

Re: I got a job in film.
 

cool. congrats.

now you need to plan on how to over-throw the director :p

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.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

Thats hardly glee worthy, haha.

(Pee Pee Pee Ess, Haha, I just said "Pee Pee")

Re: I got a job in film.
 

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.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

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.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

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.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

Hey just dont forget your roots, you started here on GT... doing what, I dont know...

Re: I got a job in film.
 

Samuel L. Jackson? That's a winner right there.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

why? i thought you wanted to get into hollywood :unsure:

Re: I got a job in film.
 

The only Hollywood related comments I've ever made are contrary to your statement.

Re: I got a job in film.
 

There is a difference between film-making and working in Hollywood (Dylflon: you do want to be a film-maker, right?).

2nd Fun Fact: I just got the urge to watch that video again

Re: I got a job in film.
 

You'll get another role when the right part comes along.

Re: I got a job in film.
