Starting out in the Film Industry (as a Camera Trainee)

In this video I cover 4 essentials for camera trainees and PAs starting out in the film industry.
Chapters:
00:33 hierarchy
02:09 equipment
05:25 batteries
07:32 coffee
I've worked as a camera trainee on enough projects to grasp what a decent trainee and PA should do to leave a good impression.
When starting out, I believe doing few tasks the right way is more important than try going the extra mile too soon. As a trainee, try to focus on the simple tasks they give you. The challenge is gonna be completing all of them on a daily basis.
I did not have enough B-roll to cover all the four points in a satisfying way, as filming while working is very hard and usually not very professional. I managed to "steal" most of the footage you see from the Italian film set I've been on for the past few weeks.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to interview my camera dept. colleagues as intended, as we had very long days and only one day off per week.
But hey, I'm just starting with this channel and at some point a decent video about the industry will come!
Until then, let me know your thoughts! What makes a good trainee? Share your thoughts in the comment section down below!
Till the next running, filming or sleeping content,
