So Much Going On!

Hello!

Sorry for a week of nothing, but a lot has been going on.

First, I did get to shoot the McDonald's commercial. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to see it on TV. As a PA on set (production assistant), I did all the grunt work - grab equipment, food, set up chairs and tents, help the art department decorate - all the fun stuff. It was a 16hr day starting at 4:30 AM but it was well worth it. I hope I can work with the team soon - I'll also post a link to the commercial whenever it comes on television - so probably within a month.

I started my "official" job and it's pretty great. It's simple - blogging for a living. It's trivial and kind of funny to think about, but it pays rent and keeps my writing in check. I don't have to worry about not practicing. As I said, it's confidential - but I'm sure if you're up to date with pop culture and know the big blogging sites, you can figure out what I'm doing. We'll see how long my stint there lasts - as I'm looking for a position that pays more.

I also, through some luck, got an interview at a production company to be the "Vault" Manager. AKA the person in charge of all the digital media for the company. I'd digitize, compress, produce, edit, and create DVD reels of directors' work while also monitoring the post production companies hired to finish a job. I really hope I get the position. I'd get my own office, be on salary, have dental and health care. The company itself is awesome - Tool of North America. They do music videos, commercials, and interactive media such as ipad games and websites.

The interview I think went super well. The guy took summer courses at Ithaca and interned at Partizan, working with the guy who eventually became the vault manager there, who I got to work with while I was interning at Partizan. They also wanted someone to start immediately and I'm as available as ever - so I hope it pays off.
