I'm working a few days on Philip Seymour Hoffman's filmic directorial debut. It's entertaining to do, the crew is nice and I'm learning some things. But, damn, I'm tired. They push you on these things and the equipment is heavy(yeesh!), but I'm not complaining. I'm a little bummed because, since I'm working electric, I don't get to be on set much at all, so I don't get to watch them working out the scenes or anything, so mostly it's just a physical labor deal---But I do get a work out and I learn some things about how stuff works. I jokingly told Ray(the best boy electric/rigging gaffer/whatever he feels like that day) yesterday that pretty soon people will pushing carts around like those for my movie, he just said, "Oh, yeah?"
But all in all, I like the job and feel lucky to have gotten it. The 21st I'm heading out to Vermont for a few days as DP for a short using a Panasonic HVX200. In between there I'll be working on my scripts and finishing up some drawings for a book, yay! It's only been a few days on this PSH shoot and I'm ready to get back to my stuff. Gotta leave for hefting things soon.
