Colleagues I’ve been working in Hollywood doing this for seven years now. Over the years I have taken probably as many jobs as I possibly can. Sometimes I work every single day and I remember one time when I was helping a friend out on the weekends and working during the week, five days a week. So I was working seven days a week. I will never do that again and I do not recommend doing that to anybody else that is in the script supervising profession. There are some young kids that basically like to do that as a gaffer or in sound, where they’ll just work every day. When you’re younger it’s easier to push yourself like that, especially if you’re trying to get experience or establish yourself in the industry. It’s important that you set healthy boundaries on your time because if you don’t take the time to rest properly, you will burn out and that will negatively impact your career.
It’s happened sometimes where I’ve been shooting all day, then that night and the next day and let me tell you, I was not a very happy person. I think I got four hours of sleep in between and even though I’ve probably only done that twice, it is a very, very, very tough thing to do. That actually reminds me of something that I definitely recommend as tip-in filmmaking. Find yourself a team of other people that do the same thing that you do. Like I’m a script supervisor. I have a list of script supervisors that I call if I can’t take a job because I’malreadyworking on another job and the yal so call me if a job comes their way and they can’t do it. And this kind of keeps me working consistently throughout the year. It’s definitely highly recommended that you have a group of friends or colleagues that do the same thing that you do no matter what department you work in.
