I worked in the industry for six years, mostly camera crew. It is a disturbing world all the way around. The rule was always a ten hour turnaround for the crew, which was 1 hour to get home, 8 hours sleep, and 1 hour in the morning to get to the set. It was hard enough to live like this for months at a time, but the reality is that this was broken 4/6 days a week. Another disturbing trend was that the leeway for directors goes all the way down the crew, exponentially getting smaller. The DP is a smarter, funnier, more elegant, tougher, better all around person than the camera crew. The operator is a smarter, funnier, more elegant, tougher, better all around person than the people below him. The first AC is a better, smarter, funnier, etc., through the second AC, to the loader, to the poor interns. I worked my way up to first AC and saw this every step of the way. The pay was great, but the caste system always disturbed me. Glad to have escaped. Thanks for a great article. Great insight. I worked in the industry for six years, mostly camera crew.

SO YOUR NEW PROCESS IS NOT TO HAVE ONE? I FIND THE OCD MORE INTERESTING THAN THE STONED/SLEAZY ANGLE.
