My contacts on the West Side

So I have a few people helping me and my move on the west coast. First, My friend, Shawna, who is helping me get a place out there. Her help has been invaluable and I hope she knows how much I appreciate what she is doing since she is mega busy herself.
Next is Michael Uva, the author of the Grip Book, the Bible on gripping. I have been emailing and calling him about Grip gigs and he has given me advice as well as many leads and a shot at working for him as well. I just gotta pass the audsition.....Yes, like actors, grips gotta show what they can do before they get on a gig. He is also helping me get into the Union. His help has been invaluable as well. Looks like things are starting to come together Gang. I'll keep ya updated on that as well as the Video shoot, which is wrapping up on Saturday, and the Movie, Dead red Rose, which has been rescheduled AGAIN, but the DP wants to do it right, and well, what the DP wants..............

Video killed the radio star

Hey Gang, Had a blast gripping on the video shoot. The Video was for a song by Chrystilin, a new up and coming fmale artist. She did a great job on the shoot. I pretty much did everything: Set and mounted the lights and gels, mounted the camera, set and manned the reflector, operated the playback, anything they needed. We will be doing a second shooting day on the 2nd to get the last few scenes we need in the can, but all and all, a GREAT day and loads of fun. I think I'm gonna like this!

Another Grip Gig

Well, tommorow morning, I have a grip gig for a music video in Orlando. I can't say more right now, I have to keep it quiet as per the Label. But I will tell ya what I did...i know, not as exciting. Well, more later gang!

Lets get it started!

Hey Gang. This is gonna be the place where I document my move from Florida to Southern California. I plan to keep you updated on finding a place to live, the Job situation, and my trip itself. Hope you guys find it interesting. It will also be a place for you to stay in contact with me once I'm out there, cause as of right now, there is no address yet, or phone number, or new email address. So, here I go! let the big adventure begin!!!!
