Kookaburras and cockatoos were on the photo menu today. I got a few great shots, too bad they are on my camera. Said camera is a tad damaged. I guess that's God's way of telling me I need to save up for a DSLR for photos and filmmaking. ;) Or I could just think that to make myself feel better.
So for the first project I was assitant camera, the next one I was/am the gaffer and grip (aka I get to play with the lights and set those up as well as any special camera rigs, and glorified cord wrangler), the one we are starting today I get to be the sound mixer. Yay!
As for my project, it's like it's up against a brick wall that will not give way. My current label for that wall is location owners. I'm just not hearing back from them. I'll just have to keep doing what I can and try more places I guess. It's harder to do during shooting week that's for sure. Although having time to work on it while waiting for others to be greenlit is kind of helpful. I'm still questioning myself, especially since internship was brought up today. Especially since it is on the list of things I'm shooting for with this.
A few days of shooting later and I still love being on set. I try to focus on just that when I'm on set. Last night I failed at that for a moment or 2. The thing about our staff is when they talk about issues/problems I need to deal with I don't get defensive or angry. I've been agreeing with them. I love our staff, I really do.
Today the final pieces must fall into place. Push time with a long day/night of filming ahead.
