Mike Cohen,
I believe it was the EditDroid (a Lucasfilm experiment at a nonlinear editor) that used RotJ footage to create a standing-room-only presentation at NAB back in the day.

One person in our towm bought a RED, thinking that he would become an instant “cinematographer” and he has yet to shoot his first anything, after almost three years. So what’s he been doing since? Working as a PA for a somewhat average video company that shoots everything on a Canon HV20.
I’ll have him call you, tonight.

There’s a medical issue just waiting to happen.

Man, this is exactly how I got started in both radio and television. And like Tim says, I jumped at the chance and used it to get every ounce of experience to end up doing other things that paid.
They used to call it “apprenticing” but now we call it exploitation. But for those, to quote Grinner Hester, who just have to do this because they wouldn’t want to do anything else, it’s a ladder.
If you don’t want the job, don’t take it.

And to go back to the top of the thread, if I had the opportunity to get a foot in the door AND drive…wow, I don’t know how much better it could get. To quote your friends and mine, “Beep beep, mmm beep beep YEAH!”

I did it, and because of the experience I learned to negotiate both the streets of Los Angeles and inner workings of the business behind the scenes.
There’s no better way to get around, be around, and learn your way around this industry than to drive around and conduct day to day business for a working company while getting paid for your time.
