Angel Camouflaged

October 19th, 2009

IMG_0109I got a job on my first feature film. It’s called Angel Camouflaged. It’s starring James Brolin, Dilana Robichaux, and Warrick Grier. Its directed and shot by Michael Givens. I’m a Set PA (but i’m not getting paid so on paper i’m an intern) which means I’m the ADs bitch but luckily they like me. The 1st AD is Jewels Satterfileld who is nice when she can be which is fine cause her job isn’t to be nice. I’ve worked with both the 2nd AD (Ben Hammock) and the 2nd 2nd AD (Jason Scott) on the Cannon Street Boys. So that’s how I got the job on this. I’m excited to see a finished product. It looks really good so far.

I’m also almost done with school. Ill probably continue to go just to earn credits if i want to transfer and get a 4 year degree later. as of now though im pretty happy being on set and 12 hour days aren’t bad when its what you want to do.

saying goodbye

October 14th, 2009

medollyIts been almost a month since i’ve last updated. A lot has gone on since then.

I ended up not going on vacation cause I got offered a job on a film being shot in Columbia titled Saying Goodbye. It was an awesome experience I met and worked with David Insley, the DP for Cry-Baby, Hairspray, The Wire, and tons more check him out at his website to see his work www.daveinsleydp.com. I learned a lot from watching him work. My title was electrician, not the one you are thinking of though, the kind that plugs in lights on a set, cause of the small crew size i also did a lot of grip work too, including dolly grip. I didnt get a pay check from it but i did get 260$ for per diem, 190$ for gas, and im waiting on a small amount as a thank you.

On the film job note i still haven’t gotten paid for The Cannon Street Boys. Which was also a great experience, the DP wasn’t as nice though. Should be soon. Then hopefully ill go to Orlando this time as long as no other film jobs pop up.

Also go to AriScary.com i bought my significant other a website, coolest present ever right? She got me the Wizard of Oz 70th anniversary limited edition box set though, i cant compete with that.
