So just a couple of weeks ago I was placed to help out on a set of a feature film. Out of courtesy and respect, I will not go into details regarding the name of the film nor the people involved.
That is all beside the point anyway. I was very excited to help out on this set, especially since it was going to be a month-long commitment. Long story short, things didn't go exactly as planned and the film was scratched.
I don't care that the filming didn't continue, I was just simply thrilled to meet new people and to be given the opportunity (no matter how short the time I had) to show off my skills as a hard-working, dedicated filmmaker.
There is nothing more rewarding when someone recognizes you for your hard work and remembers you as a potential crew member for a future film.
The opposite can be said, of course, and people will keep you in their personal black-list of people to never work with again.
How much you care about a project and the people working on it is displayed through how hard you work (or how intelligently you work).
That is great! Having such an opporrunity leads to new experiences, exposing your name out there and showing fellow filmakers what you got. WAY TO GO, Zuzi! You are on the path to much success:)
