As for what you wear, dark shirts are always preferred. Lighter shirts (especially white) can be a visual distraction while you're walking around, and they're prone to reflect light back into the scene. Also, while everyone else is taking a break, camera is busy working on shot setup... bringing them coffee or bottled water (especially on hot days) will score you mega points. And if you screw up, DON'T MAKE EXCUSES! Just say "sorry", and move on. My first job was a music video for Warner Records back in the 80's, and I ended up dolly grip for OSCAR nominated cinematographer Jim Crabe. I about shit when I ran over his foot with a Chapman dolly, he just said "Don't worry about it, that's why I have two feet".

I have PA'd a few times. Personally, I found it fun! I just try to be the type of person that I would want to have on set, and it works out pretty well for me -Alec

I’ve had two types of experiences. What you just described was one the other one was a nightmare. It was for a large recognizable company too so it really surprised me. Depends on the people I suppose.

There's a lot of productions going on there? I'm sure the landscape makes for beautiful imagery.

@@MasMashFilms It does. The sceneries incredible but most of all me and a lot of filmmakers have worked for years to pass a lot of tax breaks. So instead of people going to Canada to stop in here in the Flathead Valley to make the movies

@@SIMPLIFIEDFILMING that’s awesome. I live in Vermont and the creatives here are begging the state for tax incentives. I dig your channel btw. I just binged some videos. Trying to get as much micro budget film info as possible. I’m going into my final semester in film school and I’m trying to find a way to make a living as a creative. Fun and terrifying times haha.
