My name is Tara Perry. I am from Fort Wayne, IN, and I am attending Ball State University. I'm majoring in Telecommunications (Production Option), and, if all goes well, I will be graduating in the spring of 2009.
A little bit more about myself: I am an absolute nerd when it comes to Telecommunications and movie-making. I love every aspect of the filming process, though I must admit pre-production is not my favorite. After I graduate, I plan to head out to California and begin my career. As of right now, I haven't completely decided on what exactly I want to do as far as a full time job, but I do know that it will be dealing with something within this industry.
As far as my role with this film, like you might have guessed from my blog title, I am the Assistant Director. It's my job to basically work with both the production crew as well as the technical crew to make sure everything is organized and on schedule. I also help the Director with anything and everything. On set, it is my job to make sure we stay on the daily schedule. Also, if there are any problem I have to be able to think on my feet and work with the production crew in order to handle the situation, whether that is something like unexpected weather or other complication such as injuries. If for some reason the Director can't be on set on day, it is my job to step in and make sure everything still gets done.
So far I have worked mostly with the production core. I try my best to help them with scheduling of the film and overall organization of the pre-production process. I have participated with the casting of the movie as well. I was present for several of the auditions, and have been apart of the decision process to come up with our essential cast members. I have also worked with the technical crew a few times as a way of getting more comfortable with working together. So far, I've enjoyed working with everyone on this crew, and I look forward to filming this movie within the next week or so.
