This blog is dedicated to my learning to be a filmmaker/producer. With a goal of starting my own film company Art at Sea Films. Art is the last 3 letters of my name and Sea is the first 3 letters. I love art and I love the sea. I finished my first film opportunity as production coordinator. I got invited on it about a week before filming to meet the director and start to set up a production workbook.
I also got to cast extras during pre production. During shooting, I helped out on set some but spent most of my time in the production office with the 2nd AD (assnt director) casting extras, making call sheets, getting contracts/forms out to crew/cast and making sure they gave them back to me. I also got to do some pickups and dropoffs. So I got to go to some prophouses, dolly rental shop, expendables store, and lighting rental place.
The directors office was Right on Hollywood Blvd and Vine St. Just South of Capitol Records. One day went I out from lunch at the office there was someone getting a star on the sidewalk. Never found out who it was. But I guess got to hear Jamie Lee Curtis share some on her friend. It was a good first project. Some of the crew treated me like a rookie but most were real nice and treated me like a production coordinator/pa another man on the crew getting the job done. Filming took forever as most days went longer than expected and not all shots got done. Here's to the next project.
