Waking up at 4:30 - BDM331

Woke up now to blog. After a looong time I'm getting some free time and I'm here again.
I've been logging major events in my notepad so that I can just come here and pour all of it.

So, internship. I've been doing internship with James Wilkinson and Ash Bartlett, for SIT's TVC.
Firstly, we started off with Fashion department. Day one was an indoor shoot in the fashion department itself. Jessie Gillies (no relation with Patrick Gillies) , was the model for the day. My job was clapping the slate, 1st AC and sometimes grip.
Second day was fun but really cold. We went out in the Daffodil Bay hoping that it wouldn't rain.
But it did. :@ . Then again, we were under canopy of tall trees so the rain water was really less when it got to us.
I was an extra, acting as a grip in this one. Apart from that, I was assistant to Steven Woller. This was an amazing opportunity for me to learn good things from him. Extremely talented and he has a great way of teaching things, that is, by asking questions. I really enjoyed being his assist on the JIMMY JIB. Yeaaaaah... That was my first time building the jib and seeing it that closely in action. Mr. Woller says it takes lot of time and practice to ace the art of handling the jib. Agreed.
Day 2 was the second part of Fashion department itself. That was a wrap on fashion department.

Bones of Essimer - Level - Intense_production - BDM331

Shoot had started and it was much more intense than expected.
Full day long shoots. Night shoots. Fighting the cold. Trying to keep the mind attentive.
I was feeling like one of the slaves from the Essimer.
My job was pretty much around the camera. Security and taking care of that 40grands worth thing, was my job. I took care of F55 like my own baby. It was a great experience. Never before in my life I was just dedicated to the role of camera department alone. I learned heaps of things.
After effects of that: now people are calling me for again and again for being the 1st AC and Cinematographer on their individual films. Which kinda feels good. I just wish I had the time to be on everyone's shoot.

I think camera department was flawless. I'm not saying that because I was in it. It's because even under pressure I found camera department a step always ahead.
All over. Everything was awesome (Except the pink shirt).

PEACE OUT!
