MART 302 Interview

By Spencer Miller: Jon Chambers – Producer/ Director in Florida
He has worked in some Fox movies and many different commercials.
Can you briefly describe your job to me?
-See the project all the way through.
-Make sure all parts of the project are flowing together
-For commercials, make sure that the project reflects what the client wants.
How did you get started in the business?
-Started making as many contacts as possible and took as many opportunities as possible in little independent projects.
How do you tell someone over you (your boss) that you can't accomplish an assigned task?
-The best way to tell a boss you cannot accomplish a certain task is to be completely honest from the start.
-Also, make sure you tell whoever you are working for your abilities and limitations before you start working for them so hopefully that will not happen.
Do you have any advice for a media student starting out?
-Work on as many projects as possible no matter how big or small to get some experience under your belt, footage you your reel. This will also give you a lot of contacts in the business.
