1/16 – 1/16

Unloaded gear from truck at loading dock. Found, separated, and organized all camera gear so it would be convenient for the camera team. Generally helped the production with whatever the Keys or UPMs needed. For the last day, operated camera in the final audition room, where most Exec Producers were, capturing each performance, to be watched by the EP's later on to make decisions about casting. Wrapped my camera and other gear in that room.
