Music video shoot, Ricky Rich, Studio 713

Film Connection student Michelle Musich who apprentices with Ricky Rich at Studio 713 in Houston, TX, recently had the opportunity to assist on a music video for a local artist: “I’m looking into every different facet of the business and exploring what I can do with what I’m learning about filmmaking. Seeing how it all works and getting to learn new things about what it takes to make a music video was a really great learning experience as is getting to know the clients and see what their interests are and learning about the lighting, blocking, and managing the crew.”

Film Connection student Brooke Tadesse (Portland, OR) is getting the lay of the land with his mentor Erin Galey of “In the Flicker”. I was able to go on set and help as a Production Assistant with a shoot that my mentor was Directing/Producing…every time I go on set I learn so much. The Director of Photography was really helpful and explained to me the technical shooting aspects of the project. There were a lot of things that I didn’t know that were explained to me and helped me get a better understanding of how a set works and how a crew with chemistry can really be a big positive for a project. When I take part in a shoot it just gets me even more excited for the next one. Now on to my screenplay! …Hopefully I can keep the words flowing and complete this beast.
