Need more hands on deck

I've mentioned this in a previous blog, but I'll refresh your memory. On The Payoff the three of us took on far too many jobs, which made concentrating on our desired job very difficult.


For example, how am I suppose to direct a performance and view it if I have to push the Dolly? Same for when I'm monitoring the sound, we did loads of jobs like that, which interfered with our main response ability. This also caused us to argue on set.


It was evident that we needed more hands on deck. To primarily do the less glamourous jobs.


Graeme took it on board, being the producer. He came up with some good ideas to install some help. The obvious one is to ask friends, but we wanted help with better technical knowledge of film. Graeme had seen that Eddie AV suite guy from the lower building was trying to set up a film club. He emailed the lot and we got a few responses, he also did the same with years below on our course.


We aren't looking for a lot of help, but we do need four or five spare hands. Not only will it give us the help we need, but also give us experience managing a crew.


Short but sweet.
