  1. Thanks a lot for the replies. Free labour really isn't really a problem for me because I've been expecting it all along, so I've kind of prepared myself for that one. I constantly tell myself I'd be happy to work the lowest position on a professional shoot just for the experience, because it's definitely what I need right now. In fact, after reading through this forum in the past couple hours I've learned more and more about how little I know of actual film production. What are some good websites (or any other type of posting) that I should be searching around or signing up for that would regulary be looking for non-union workers on commercials or short film shoots. The main one I've been checking is mandy.com which seems to be updated regularly, but are there any others I should have on my bookmark list? Also, thanks a lot for the recommendation about working at a rental house. The thought never really occured to me, I'll start searching the GTA/905 area for some and begin applying.
  2. Hi everyone, I just found this forum and it seems extremely useful so I thought I'd join it. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for getting started in the industry as a grip. I just completed my schooling (Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario) and am now looking to get out there and starting out as an assistant. However, I'm having a hard time finding work. I was curious as to how all of you experienced workers got your start, and any tips towards what it entails to be a key grip or assistant would be very helpful. Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.
