new to the trade

[Chris Goodmanson]

I am looking for a career change after close to 20 years working as a production designer and managing large crews and budgets, I’m looking for a position working with cameras the original catalyst for me came to Hollywood in the first place. I’d like to opportunity to follow that original passion in the camera department. I am really interested in starting from the ground up working hopefully working with an experienced crew/1st AC open to teaching an old dog new tricks.

1. Don't waste your time starting at the bottom. Shoot some spec commercials. You know enough crew guys by now and directors. Get a good gaffer and operator or operate yourself. Good luck. I thing you're nuts, by the way. A good kinda nuts.;)
