Scratch that- it wasn't $100... it was $228.16, the wage a camera assistant gets paid when they are just starting out!
Today was day 2 of that Local 600 workshop. I got to Mole at 7:30AM, got a free craft-service catered breakfast, helped set up some lights, got a free craft-service catered lunch(it was good, too!), and got some overtime because I locked the doors five minutes after 6:00PM.
Big Mike Martin gave me a ride home and then Andrew and I watched Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang an amazingly shot and executed film(...ohhh, that sounded violent- haha). Andrew has been getting over a cold so we went to Cafe 101 a few blocks away because he was hungry. I got fries. Yum.
PhillM tip-of-the-day:
When creating a make-shift boom to help boom in a light or anything else(known as a menace arm), please, please, please don't forget that the ratio for weight distribution is 2:1. That means So your pivot point is 2/3 from the boom point(where the item is being hung) and 1/3 from the back of the "boom arm". So you have 2/3 out front and 1/3 in back. This will prevent your boom from snapping.
