Issue #177 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Film Connection graduate Daren Frease (Austin, TX) with Jared Padalecki of Supernatural on the set of Andrew’s Choice, a gig he landed via social media:
I posted on a Facebook group, that I’d do free videos for people. That’s how I landed the “Andrews Choice” gig. It’s a teen driving safety video that’s hopefully going to be shown in schools. A mom lost her son Andrew to a car accident a year or 2 ago, and she wanted a video out there that clearly states the driving laws for teens. So, they got people to talk about it, and I’ve been filming it and editing it all together. Jared Padalecki and his wife were the last people I filmed for it, and they were great – extremely helpful and good at being in front of the camera (clearly, because they’re actors).”
Film Connection student Jessica Wise (Lexington, KY) recently got a real-world lesson in the meaning behind the saying Time is money:
“Last week especially was an intense learning experience…Coach Cal… Coach John Calipari, of the Kentucky Wildcats, is a popular and controversial figure depending on who you ask (as seen in the recent documentary about him: One and Not Done)… I was super excited when I learned Post-Time would be shooting a commercial with him (my dad and brother were excited too, if not a tad bit jealous!). On the day of the shoot, I met up with the guys at 8 am who were setting up the lights and cameras in the various shooting locations…If anything was stressed to me that day it was this: Time is money! Coach Cal wouldn’t be arriving until 2 pm and would only be with us until 5 pm. That gave us three hours to get all of the shots. Because of this, everything was prioritized. The set-up started early so that the team could make sure everything was in place and ready to go by the time Coach Cal showed up…Overall, it was very eye-opening to see how the crew prepares when they’re in a time crunch and how they collaborate with their clients and ad agencies.”
