"When the actors arrive on set I also get their names and write them on tape, which I stick on the camera" I bet people love working with you. Those "little" details are everything at every job, not only cinema. Thank you for sharing those valuable tips with us.

The film 2nd AC is possibly the busiest position on set.   The only time they aren’t busy is while the camera is rolling.   Always moving equipment, and when everyone else is waiting or taking a break, the loader is away loading magazines, and organizing equipment.  It gets even worse when there is no 2nd, and the 1st AC has to cover both jobs.

this is a wonderfull series, i'm trying very hard to get on film sets aswell. the information you give in this video is invaluable

MY media management professor told us a story about when he worked DIT on a set in NY. He got hungry so he left his station to go get craft. When he came back, his RAID array had a problem and needed fixing. Alot of metadata had to be re-written by hand to recover the footage so it could be readable.
It turned out when he was gone, some PA went into his station without and pulled out one of the drives without asking because he needed to get the graphics.
My professor was up until well after midnight trying to get the footage recovered and backed up so he could get 3 drives prepared.  
So he told us that the media managers are very strict / controlling for a reason. Because if some ignorant idiot messes with the DIT station, the whole day's work could be lost.
The lesson of this story is to never leave your station unattended because somebody will fuck everything up. If you need to get food, have somebody get it for you.

Got anxiety just watching this. Sounds like a hectic and scary job. Imagine working under your favorite director and they just coldly fire you. Terrible. No thank you, I’ll stick to the indie film route! 😂

At 9:30 I love the feeling of hearing a DP or gaffer murmur what they want and having it ready immediately and surprising them. Same goes when a grip or camera team does that when you’re a dp

Assistant Editor here, much love to my 1st and 2nd AC's!

Being a 2nd Ac is one of the interesting job, but at the same time it could be one of the hardest job that requires 100% of attention and concentration. I have this for 3 years and participated in shooting over 100 commercials few feature films and music videos and now stepping up into the 1stAC. I can proudly says I really enjoy being 2nd Ac the only thing I was missing in my career as a 2nd Ac was the fact that I didn't have chance to work with film cameras only on digital

Please add sound, director, producer, and any other department breakdown, This series is so good!!!

In school 2nd AC has become one of my favourite roles! Creativity is fun, but also it feels so nice to know that the recording is going so smooth because I did my job as an assistant well.

As someone who's yet to work in a film crew, I'm really excited for this series! You're one of my favorite content creators. Thank you for the work you put into these  <3

please do mono microphone

It's really interesting to see and learn about the interpersonal relations aspect of working on a set, I had never seen anyone talking about it before!

I was actually privileged to work on an indie film with a Hollywood producer at this role. My job was running the slate/or clapper, reading out the information, helping set lights in scenes, setting props in scenes, and occasionally holding the camera. It was an amazing first time experience and I hope to do it again.

This is a great video on the job, there’s colour marking actors, eyeline marking, camera marks (especially if on film). Also, weather proofing and cleaning gear, moving and setting monitors (these days with covid in consideration), make sure image is up (unless VTR on set), laminating or printing labels for monitors, labels cast lists and lens lists (mf, and t stop), having the schedule for the 1st AC, distances for shot matching, listening to every word the DP, cam op or 1st AC says and having keen set ears being able to hear them from 30’ away, coordinating with locations needs of the camera team, coordinating with transpo items to be picked up or dropped off, doing all the camera departments timesheets. It’s a lot but it’s a rewarding job.

Loaders: “I’m reloading!”
