It's more than a job, it's an adventure ! ok. I heard that somewhere LOL
For the last 4 days I'm doing Foley (sound fx) work. When I'm satisfied with that (first 2 1/2 days I ended up hating), I'll finally edit the scene from 3+ hours of footage (1 of actual actors, 2 secondary). This is for a film of mine currently. No, I don't "star" in it since a lot of indie horror films I see have a tendency to be vehicles for the "look at me crowd !".
My credits (from most to least) are composer, editor, sound, boom operator, actor, director, writer, PA, gaffer, makeup fx, driver and crane operator (yes, a real crane on a real set for some HBO movie, not some throw together one in someone's backyard epic LOL). The last movie I worked on set for earned me the nickname '10-in-1 Chris, the Swiss Army knife of filmmaking' since I'm constantly doing something on set (and apparently can get it done LOL). Learn as much as you can on other people's sets since it can only help your productions later.
I get hired mostly for music and sound by other companies since it's a long, thankless task. After a few false starts over the last 2 years, I've finally gotten a solid team of local cast and crew assembled around me that have the same interests in making quality horror films that put the scares first and not just the quick "blood and boobs" route that overpopulate the genre. We have another short after the current one, plus 2 features already planned out through the summer. I'll see what happens from there.
