00:08I would say a director is one of my options because I like to lead people and be in control,
00:14so that gives me the opportunity to tell people what to do. Growing up anytime I watched anything,
00:21I always wondered like what was really happening to make this look how it does. I didn't expect to
00:28see all the equipment so fast. I didn't expect to have light in there. I didn't even know you needed
00:35all this to even film.
00:37I just wanted to try something new. I always wondered what it's like to be behind the scenes in a
00:46movie.
00:47I just always wanted to know what was going on behind the camera like during movies and how they
00:53make you know different scenes look the way that they look. I want to see the behind the scenes of
00:59a movie, how it's made. I watch pretty much anything but I prefer action movies and stuff.
01:06I don't know, I kind of want to do something that I wouldn't normally do.
01:19My job was first assistant camera which was using the slate and whenever it's time we'll put the
01:25slate in their face or away from them and take one action.
01:33I like acting I think I'm gonna continue acting.
01:36You know being the person that I am it was kind of hard you know having the role that I
01:42was playing
01:42and stuff like that but it was very fun shooting.
01:47I was everywhere. I tried everything. I think it was fun. I like the boom but I think I need
01:54more muscles.
01:55My arms got tired. For some reason I kind of expected us all to be in like a classroom at
02:00a school
02:01and like groups of four. It felt like we were like an actual movie crew and like actually like moving
02:06around
02:06and like it kind of felt like something that you wouldn't usually expect from a place like Cleveland
02:11or something so I don't know. Just seeing how it actually looked through the camera was way different
02:17than I thought it was gonna look like. Looking through the camera it felt like we were in a totally
02:20different
02:21place like it didn't feel like we were here in the kitchen. It felt like I don't know and the
02:26way it
02:26looked it just looked cinematic. If I worked on another movie I want to be in the camera department
02:31again. I think I really want to do it again and just work with cameras more. I'll probably tell them
02:37just have fun you know be careful with the equipment but have fun because that's really what it's kind of
02:43all about. You have to see your uh you want to see your masterpiece at the end you want it
02:48to come out good so
02:49she's you know good.
