My primary job was to make sure the cinematographer was happy with the lighting, and on top of that, make sure we weren't throwing breakers, keeping the crew safe from the lights, and managing grips.

MY primary job was to handle the Extras that we used, and there was a lot of them. We pulled them from a group of random high school students. My duties also included things like: making sure the crew was on task, keeping the talent happy and content to be there, and overlooking the strike at the end of each day.

My responsibilities varied for the day, from paying for peoples parking to setting up for lunch to running errands for the Production Manager.

This short film really pushed the limits of my own skill set. I had to help manage thousands of dollars worth of gear, manage a crew of 17 people, and help with preproduction so that we were ready for principle photography.

My job on this run and gun shoot was to make sure that we got as many shots as we could by maximizing the location and how quickly we made it through each setup.

I managed extras and PA's as we shot this 3 minute long music video over 3 days. I took directions from the First AD and made sure that everything was done correctly and timely.

My job on this shoot was to run lenses to and from the Cinematographer. I also aided with staging the camera and setting up lights as per the instructions of the Cinematographer.
