So many Departments to explore

 

“Be a sponge, you know, learn as much as you can and be enthusiastic about learning that, because there are so many different aspects of our business.  You know, there’s the sound department, there’s the lighting department, there’s the camera department, there’s the art department, there’s actors, and there’s producers and sometimes post production people are on set for special effects shots.  There’s a lot to be learned.” Eli Adler, Director Of Photography

A Note from Robin…

I can honestly say that becoming a PA was the start of an adventurous life. It’s true that you will work hard on every job, you’ll be the first to arrive and the last to leave, you will get tired, really tired. This job will push you to your limit. But in the end you will walk away with the experience of being on a set and working with a team which is what will make you successful in this industry.

You’ll be starting at the bottom rung of the ladder but what a great place to learn every department and get that first-hand experience and to see which department you’re attracted to. Eventually you become a viable member of any crew with an interesting career ahead of you. Each job brings a bit more knowledge, understanding and nuance to you becoming successful. And hey, you get paid!

What’s this life like? Be prepared to change on a moments notice, to move quick and then freeze for the next shot, to get coffee and bagels, lunch, to make copies, to drive people around, make signs, watch gear, lock down a set. You will learn the in’s and out’s of a film set and you will meet others who will help you along the way.

This for all of you future Film Production Assistants. Here’s to you and to the adventure ahead!
