I had the pleasure of working with Theophany Films as Talent Wrangler on a shoot for a major land development company. While I am familiar with shooting run-and-gun after working in news, and doing corporate video for several years, this was my first time doing it with film. We shot both 16mm and 35mm and at one point I saw someone with an 8mm camera.
Since this shoot was a beauty piece highlighting development firm's buildings in Downtown San Diego, my job was easy, I just had to get the buildings to stay in one place while we shot. (thank you, Don't forget to tip your waitress!) What I really did, was keep the 17 actors and actresses from Shamon Freitas Talent Agency ready to go for whenever the AD or Director called for them. I showed up each morning with the crew, helped load carts for the day, and walked with them to our first location. Then I would go back to our parking lot and wait for our Make-up Artist and Talent to arrive. Once all of our Talent was on set I picked out their wardrobe for the day, made sure that they went through make-up and then escorted them to our shooting location. For the rest of the day my job was to know where talent was at all times (they do wander occasionally) and help watch all of our gear.
Recap: Theophany Films is a great company to work with, and they put a great crew together, just bring your walking shoes.
