I interviewed Justin T. Dybowski, a production assistant in Charleston, South Carolina. He currently works on the set of Army Wives and was kind enough to give me a chance to interview him.
1.) Can you briefly define your job to me?
“I am a production assistant on set. Basically my job requires me running base camp, which means I basically make sure that the actors are where they need to be at the appointed times. I also make sure that every one is quiet on set when were recording. I also make sure that in between shots the actors are in hair and make-up.”
2.) How did you get started in this buisiness?
“In high school I knew that I wanted to work in film. After Graduation I attended Trident Technical College in Charleston and majored in film. Then I heard that they were filming a television show in Charleston and decided to go for it”
3.) How do you tell someone over you that you couldn’t accomplish an assigned task?
“Well, when someone gives you a task the most important thing is that you do your best. If the task is unreasonable then them. If the task deals with someone else the person over you wants you to talk to and there’s a message that you need to relay to the person as soon as possible.”
4.) Do you have any advice for a media student who is just starting out?
“Yeah, take any job you can get. Its possible to make it up the food chain but don’t be afraid to start out at the bottom. I started out driving vans and getting coffee and now I’m a productions assistant. So it is possible to make it to a high position”
