This is for any jr creative feening for a production experience.

At first you’ll be enamored by all the perks: 5 star hotels, free food & drinks, foreign country, being completely pampered and taken care of in all aspects.

But what you won’t realize is not only will you be handling your responsibilities with extreme urgency but you’ll most likely have to handle your day to day + more in different time zones.

Imagine 12 hour shoots and then coming home to handle decks and emails & repeat.

5 star hotels 😆

funnylike

Was in a Ritz one time, and it was pretty cool. We did come back from our 12 hour shoot days to build more decks, though. Last prod I was on was more chill. But also, no Ritz.

It’s still fun. Sometimes more in hindsight than in the moment.

12 productions down and I’ve never stayed in a 5 star hotel, what am I doing wrong

If you’re able to get all the creatives who need to be on the shoot on the shoot, let alone get them into actual 5 star hotels, more power to you.
