that'll learn ya

About five years ago, I worked on a short film called Lightness which was produced at the AFTRS. I was the Production Designer's assistant and and did helluva job... much the joy of the producer. I could do a lot of the Art Department wrangling without her being involved. I remember it quite well

She ended up getting some prestigious scholarship and disappeared for a while - I didn't see her again until this year.

Five years later, I'll now be running a show for her (possibly two)... because she *asked* the Studio Manager to have me on her shows. Running = production supervising = managing all the vfx monkies and my armada of underlings.

(Of course, I'm only going to have a week off from uberboi before I roll right into these... sigh)

So what does this learn ja?

The industry is small and you *must* treat every colleague, professional or otherwise, as a potential colleague or supervisor or boss.
