1st Day of 4 in Lucidity Production. Since I was told that I got Production Coordinator position just a week before the production, I wasn't involved with much of the pre-pro stuff. However, Adrian keeps such good records of all paperworks involved with the production that I just followed his lead and "coordinated." Basically, I was multipurpose PA... -.-;;

The call time was 8am because of our late-night location shooting schedule for the next day, but I didn't know it changed until I showed up 9am like I did for Conv 27. Despite an hour early call time, the first shot was taken at 11am! I found out later that they did the complex dolly shot for the first shot of the day. Baaaad choice. You need to schedule easy shots before the complex shots because the cast and the crew may not be warmed up for the production yet early in the morning. Therefore, I wasn't surprised we were behind 4-5 shots by the end of the day. Although Mike the 1st AD for the production, didn't constantly asked ETA on the shots, I felt he wasn't pushing the schedule hard enough. It is 1st AD's job to meet the schedule, and the UPM's job to meet the budget, as Adrian told me.

I had relatively easy day because I wasn't constantly lifting heavy lights/grips, and simply gathered every little stuff littered around the set. I was amazed what a difference in two positions can make. I took on Gaffer position because I wanted to be familiar with the lighting equipments and gears and met the goal admirably. However, I can't see myself doing that for my job. I did learn that Gaffer position is very important and what it entails. That's enough for me now. However, I'm still lost on the details of PC positions...
