I’m not bragging but…
I am.
EDIT: I never get to do this few pages in a day and not worry about it. Usually, I’m given like… 18 days to shoot 118 pages of stunts and special effects with 25 different locations and 50+ characters. *Sad trombone sound*

Ah gotcha. Not comfortable with counts below 3 pages, usually means we’re trying to get ridiculous shit done, like throw someone off the roof or 3 location moves cause it just HAS TO BE that bridge we shoot on. Remember, 1/8 of a page: Atlanta burns.

Still picking up the terminology here… what does 5/8th symbolise and how does it differ to 1/8th, 2/8th or any other number/8th?

A page can just be 1/8 but all it takes is one sentence saying something like ‘car explosion’ and that will be nearly half a day gone. However, HOORAY for easy days!

Assistant Directors don't always yell. Sometimes we write about stuff. Because I'm a workaholic, I sometimes feel the need to document the things I see and the questions that are raised while going through the most insane process of making a director's dreams come true. About me: My name is Michelle. I am a (currently) non-union First Assistant Director working out of Austin, TX. I hope to one day join the DGA and direct my own scripts on the side, but until that time comes... Got questions? Comments? Complaints? A project you want me to AD? (I'm cheap!)
