Every once in a while I will do projects that are unpaid or pays lower than I expect to get paid in order to keep my resume fresh and up to date. This shoot was an unpaid short film (Jackpot!) The funny thing about these shoots is I always go in kicking and screaming because I have to be there 10-12 hours for little to no pay and I have to stay upbeat and positive around stressed out crew members who, in my mind, won't remember my name even though I have to say it five times so they understand how to pronounce it.
(It's Ja'shell, like Michelle or seashell but with the Jay sound)
However, the reality is I always have the best time on these shoots because they want to keep me happy so that I stay motivated and continue to help. I also get paid in left over lunch and crafty which is always a bonus. And if I'm really lucky I get to work with people who I instantly click with or teach me how to do basic lighting and grip work.
