Issue #164 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
 Film Connection student Jessica Wise (Lexington, KY) is getting to see exactly what happens on a commercial shoot: “It was a little overwhelming seeing all of the equipment crammed into the studio and people going to and fro trying to get everything ready. I was shown some of the cameras the guys were using that day – Canon and RED Dragon. They were definitely more technical and expensive than any camera I have ever been around so I refrained from touching them – for now (I have to get used to them first)…When noon rolled around, our spokesperson arrived and our actors and directors were ready to shoot! This was the first experience I had watching a director guide his actors and instruct his crew. I loved it! From the way he gave pointers and coached his actors through every line delivered, to how he interacted with his cameramen – it’s definitely something I can see myself doing one day.”
