- started filming once a week for a different brand
- hired to shoot a 24 day feature in North Carolina
- broke my arm

Never thought a movie I worked on would be promoted on the side of a NASCAR.

Let’s follow this timeline together:
- shoot the pilot for a production
- hired on every shoot for two years
- asked if I’m open to being a jr producer/shooter/editor
- apply
-position goes to a nepo baby
- still hired on subsequent shoots
- offered same position again
- never even considered

Today’s set is for a series of videos aimed at breaking down scenes of a film or show with cast and crew. I’m looking forward to hearing from actors how they approached their performances for Inside Out

Trying hard to use this app as professionally as possible. Today’s shoot is for Kettle One for a Valentine’s Day promotion.

Monthly update:

- got duped for a second time for a producer/editor job

Posting a first AC job for $200 total for a 12 day shoot is absolute madness

The good thing about the corporate video shoots I do is call is never earlier than 9am. Especially on days like today when the call sheet came through at 8:04am.
November 20, 2024 at 1:24 PM
Oops it’s been 6 months with no update:

- Narrative is wildly scarce, mainly shooting TikTok content for a soup company
- did an interview with Hanson
- still DPing Flashback Cinema

Hey @mikebithell.bsky.social maybe you have this answer, maybe not.

Certain games allow inverting both the X and Y axis, when some only allow the Y. Is that a technical decision? A creative choice? Does that require extra coding or something? Just curious!

Monthly Update:

- work is still scarce
- started streaming again
- new apartment is nice

See you in 30 days

Forgot this app again:

- Dune Part II
- Non union jobs are scarce
- StaffMeUp is a scam
- Looming IATSE strikes
- Helldivers is super fun with friends, not with randoms

Be back in a month!
March 19, 2024 at 12:52 PM
Oops forgot this app again.

- joined the union
- saw Godzilla Minus One
- booked on non-union stuff for the first quarter of the year

We’re all caught up
January 26, 2024 at 12:47 AM
Applied to the union. Hoping my credentials and experience are sufficient to get me in.

Really enjoying Monarch Legacy of Monsters on AppleTV+. While the weekly episode has left me salivating for more, I’m glad to have something to look forward to instead of finishing the entire season in one day.
November 22, 2023 at 2:43 PM
Won’t consider my career a success until I’ve worked on a Godzilla movie
November 19, 2023 at 12:09 AM
Strikes are over, you know what time it is. Getting the required paperwork together to join 600.
November 9, 2023 at 3:52 PM
DP job in Philly today which means I’m maxing out a credit card at Wawa before going back to NY
November 5, 2023 at 3:56 PM
Despite crafty, I’m burning so many calories and using up so much energy that I’m constantly eating to recharge and still losing weight
October 25, 2023 at 5:29 PM
Back in the corporate world for the next four days. Soup recipes, TikTok videos and copious amounts of caffeine
October 24, 2023 at 3:04 PM
Couple of days off before getting back to corporate work for social media. Assuming we’ll be filming holiday foods and drinks.
October 19, 2023 at 12:38 PM
Filming at a psychiatric hospital on Friday the 13th in New England. What’s more Halloween than that?
October 13, 2023 at 1:54 PM
There are days as an AC where my workload is immense and there are days like today where I setup a monitor, repaired the Teradek and that was it for six and a half hours.
October 12, 2023 at 8:27 PM
Commercial job tomorrow for White Castle, should be a short day. Most likely will spend more time in traffic than actually working
October 11, 2023 at 1:57 PM
Here’s my problem with corporate jobs and in-house gear - it breaks frequently. We have a second camera on site but they want Sony so I’m going back to the office to get a new camera and monitor, on my lunch break.
