First Day

Today was the first day of Diantha's film shoot. It was great!! I may not know the terminology at first, but I am quickly learning so much about film lighting. It feels great to be busy all day and to know I still have two weeks left of such days. I am looking forward to see how much I will learn and grow during these next few weeks. I am also sooo excited to be able to see the final product. It is going to be a great film.

Stagehands have astonishing learning curves. It's not unusual for stage crews to have trucks full of unknown scenery arrive at a theatre on Monday, which we need to assemble and understand to open a show we've never seen before... on Tuesday night.

Most people, if confronted with such a task, would flatly say it was impossible.

Stagehands find ways to make it possible. We learn quickly, we draw upon years of experience, skills and training, and (all too often) we drink lots of coffee and work all night.

I've had one longstanding handicap in my career as a stagehand. I don't drink coffee.
