To be more accurate, I should say "morningmare" instead of nightmare. My internship started last week and production started this week. Woke up as early as 4.30am because our call time was 6.30am in the office. I had to buy breakfast too.

My internship is at a production company, Threesixzero Productions. My job is the production assistant (aka assistant producer, which sounds so cool), and I'm basically the saigang guy - buy breakfast, find sponsors, buy lunch, collect meals, push trolleys around, set up garbage bags, and so on. But, although it sounds so depressing, I kind of enjoy my job now.

Can't believe that into the third day of production, I'm already feeling so used to it all and comfortable with most of the people. The production team is a bunch of nice people, and there's so much to observe and learn, such as the ways of a good director, assistant director, and how wardrobe and props work.

And my job scope is making me grow. I'm naturally a person who's afraid of details, but due to my job scope, I had to be meticulous and delve into the littlest details. It's making me a more detail-conscious person. The fact that there's hardly any free time at all also made me learn that if I can't have it my way, I've just got to love what I have.

Speaking of which, I was so bothered by the whole "I don't have free time" thing. Basically, we start at 6.30am and wrap at 7pm. After wrapping, we have to head back to the office to prepare for the next day. At our earliest, we leave at 8pm. Reach home at almost 9pm, and have to sleep soon because I have to wake up early the next day. And then another complain I had was that I had to buy breakfast and lunch, up to 30+ packets at one go and lug them into the office/filming location. Sometimes (such as today), I would make mistakes and have to go back and buy more.

But I guess I'm getting used to it.

Tonight is a luxury because I have time to blog. Tomorrow is a break, in which I'm supposed to do some minor working from home. And then Sunday is when it all starts again.

But still, so far so good~
