Thursday!

Today was another crazy day in Crew Drills.

First, I was DP, which was incredibly fun. Well, the camera operation part was fun. The lighting part was so confusing and I was entirely overwhelmed and wanted to cry. But it worked out. And I had a blast. 

Second, I was First AC, which is a focus-puller for the DP. That was also very, very fun. Rack focusing, where you go from one person or thing, really fast to another person or thing, is great. We had to get the camera really low, so I ended up having to sit on the floor to get focus. So that was fun.

My job also included changing lenses. $5,000 lenses. Cool.

My third job was grip, which I hated. It was a bunch of heavy lifting, which is fine, except for the fact that I'm too weak to do half the stuff, and that annoys me. Also, I got to push the dolly, which was cool, but I was too weak to turn the wheels. Lame. And frustrating. And also, 15 different people were telling me to do 15 different things. 

I think it'll be better on set. This was the only job I really didn't like. But I guess loving 12 jobs out of 13 is pretty good odds.
