Day two, and final day of P.A. Bootcamp wrapped up today! Today felt a little more intense than yesterday, now giving a drill of searching for information in the cracks of a call sheet when asked by an A.D.
Then after we were up against a wall working on our call outs by yelling them out into the open, we got more in depth learning about types of Production Assistants, like radio and office. With a few activities later to train our skills and understand what the positions required, we passed P.A. Bootcamp!
In all I take from this experience a lot of respect for those who have worked as a P.A. and that some point in the future, I may join them yet inside a studio.
As an additional fun experience today, we got to sit down and have dinner with a focus puller, Symon Mink. He helped give some much needed and appreciated insight to the field we were pushing into by sharing his time with us and answering our questions. My main question was-
"Does your experience working on a film change when working on a lesser known set compared to the big guns like Marvel?"
He told me that it was relatively the same experience, but with Marvel sized studios you can feel some ego and with the smaller films, you feel great for helping make it into something good.
That's a Wrap!
