girly day
My favorite makeup artist is coming over later, and we're doing our own headshots. My advisor(hee!) has suggested I go for Emily Procter-the blonde on CSI Miami-styling... basically,the professional, forensic scientist, lawyer-type... Where to borrow round-ish small wire rimmed glasses in Yakima, I wonder?
Why does someone in a crew role need headshots? Why not? If it gives me the opportunity to get small acting roles and therefore sneak onto other people's sets and soak up some knowledge about how other sets function, how could I not?
This could be my own multi-site, retroactive externship program! (Those in chef school right now will get the reference...) Time permitting, I'll get on as many other sets as possible (even as an uncredited background actor) to see other productions, and to watch those who have more experience than me doing their thing. Best case scenario, I get a short-term Setdec opportunity on someone else's big budget set, and learn volumes while earning a few downtime bucks, but it might be easier to go the acting route, especially if I only have one or two days at a time.
While I've done plenty of grunt labor in related fields, and I know my stuff, it's unusual to be an art director without having worked for more production companies in smaller positions. I'd like to spend most of my down time educating myself and filling in any movie-industry-related potential gaps, and finding people to learn from will only make me better at a job I truly love. It will be a pleasure to watch them doing their thing, I think.
One day, I want to be the kind of art director people sneak on-set to come check out... so, headshots it is.
