So I've talked with several pros in the industry and they've all told me the same thing, film school is a waste, go learn from experience. So hey, that's what I've been doing. I am at a point thought where the experience I am getting isn't what I need so I'm looking to apprentice with one, or three, mixers so I can learn and get more hands-on experience with someone who knows what they're doing.
So, a little about me.
My name is Amanda. In only a little over a year I have worked over 25 productions. I love working in film and take pride in doing it well. Every job is different but I can quickly adapt to provide an excellent quality product every time no matter what job I am doing.
I am a hard worker, very passionate about working in the industry, and I learn quickly. I have a positive attitude and an inquisitive nature. I have 8 years experience between both Theatre and Film.
I have worked Sound, Art Department, Production Assistant, Grip and even a little camera work. My real passion is for Sound though. Everything I know I have learned with hands-on experience and several instruction manuals. The first time I saw and touched sound gear for film it was handed to me in 2 cases and I was told to have it up and running in 30 minutes. Needless to say after much fumbling with buttons and menus and re-working of plugs I got it and things went from there.
I have a basic understanding of sound for film but I want to learn more and I think working with a professional will help greatly. I'm not totally green so you wouldn't be taking on someone with no idea what they're doing or even which end of a boom pole the microphone goes on. My resume is attached.
Thank you for your time.
