Saturday was picture wrap for the show I Key Gripped, but there’s no time to recover as yesterday started a brand new show where I’m Best Boy Electric. Most of the crew that I worked with Thursday-Saturday is also on this show.

The sudden shift is slightly weird. You get used to people being a specific position and then overnight it’s all changed up. People who were once running the show as Assistant Director and Art Director are now Sound Mixing and Gripping.

Also, being the second show of the week, there’s no official check-in/check-out, so you have to hope the last show took care of all the equipment. In our case they didn’t. The truck was an absolute mess, but that’s a story for another day.
