Great Sets, Great People, Great Time!

I have to say that lately I have been so impressed by all the current sets that are filming in the State. What is so great is that most of these sets are very upbeat and enjoyable to work on. Productions like "Ghosts", "Proposal", and "Truth" to name a few are really great experience by far. The crews are nice the people are nice,so what else can you ask for when you are working on these 12+ hr sets. The worst thing about this business is when you get comfortable on a particular set, make some great friends and eventually you have to move on. You form some sort of family (not to sound corny)with these people and that makes it pretty special. Currently I have been working on The Proposal this past week and have made friends with some great individuals Jen , Jen, Dominick, Clayton, and my Greek partner in crime Angelo. We have been a team for the past week and a strong one to say the least on this particular scene we have been filming. Sometimes it's not about the networking folks, it's about the friends you create.

I couldn't agree more! Movie sets are strange places- you develop great friendships with the people you are around for ten, twelve hours a day and it's "home-" even if it's only for a day or two. And then all of a sudden you're tossed back into the real world and you realize that what you take from your time on set are the wonderful people that you had the great pleasure to meet. They're the real souvenirs from your time! And, if you happened to have had the great fortune to do an actual choreographed scene while you were at it, it's even better!

People agreeing to work and not showing up.

I was on a project yesterday (Mall Cop) which was a nice experience and worked with nice people. What amazed some people is that there were a few no-shows, what I had said to them is don't be too surprised because this happens more than you think. When that happens that screws a lot of people up first the production because they are expecting their numbers for that day, and people that actually wanted to work that day. So if you can't make it on that project for any reason please call the casting director the day prior so they can fill in your spot. It's the best thing you can do in that situation to still be good with the casting directors and the production.

Keep your political views home..

I was working on E.O.D just recently and here we are in holding for a few hours as usual and here we have someone preaching about which canadate we should choose. Now we all know which one we want to choose and that is our personal opinion, but do not tell us who to vote for. At one point one person yelled from across the room and told this guy to "end it" because this is "not the place for that", I totally agree. Keep that outside, we are here to work and have fun and no one needs that.

Are future films in jeporady because of looming strike?

That is a question really no one knows and is asked quite often. If there is a strike and it does last as long as the writers strike does, that will be a problem. But let's hope everything gets resolved by next month so the ongoing traffic of movies continues here in our very cool state. strike,
