luke word Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hi Y'all, So I'm about to graduate from film school in NYC and I'm applying for jobs. I want to become a Director of Photography or Director of commercials and want to know what path to take. I've considered the following: - Intern at a commercial production company (mostly office work, sometimes on set PA'ing) - Made in NY, Production Assistant Program - Working at Steiner, Silvercup, Kaufman studios - Interning at Panavision NYC I would really like to intern directly with a director or cinematographer of commercials, but I do not know how to go about this...

Daniel Wallens Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Do all of them. It will take a while. Especially since it's pretty obvious that you don't really know what you want to do (be a director or a DP -- two very different jobs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniz Coker Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Absolutely! There's something to be learned from interning at a large place like Silvercup to learning from being a PA at a small boutique. I think once you feel out the industry you can take a good hard look at this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
