Working at Complete Post!!!

Today is my first day at Complete Post, I was pretty nervous as I was still coughing.......i ate a panadol tablet and off I go to work.

It was 9:00 am and I met Chris Ward, the guy that I am going to work with for the next 2 weeks. The project that we are going to work on is a 30 minutes documentary on Homeless people called " Home Film ". This is a project which Complete Post donates for the Fringe Festival.

The first thing that I have to do is to read the logging sheet from the producer and the director.
There are 856 shots that I have to log and its a lot of shots!!! What I have to do is to type in all the reel number of all the shots, there in and out points and thats it. Sounds easy, but when it comes to actually working on it, its a bit hard. The text on the screen is so small and I find it quite hard to read the numbers. I have to pull the monitors closer so that I could see more clearly. While was punching in the numbers I have to make sure that I am typing in the correct numbers, so that the shots could be digitized correctly, which is going to be the next step.
This is a very mechanical process, but I really enjoyed it. I guess I like working with numbers and things that requires accuracy and logic.

The work is challenging but I do get tired a bit sometimes. But the thing is, when u have set youself a goal, you really want to finish it on time. Say I have set my goal to be logging all the shots in one day, so, my find have put that as my first priority and I dont want to anything else but this job. I have no appetite to eat, and I didnt have my lunch. This is not good for health. Chris asked me there is no need to burnt myself out for this work. I 'll took his advice and I wil ldefinitely have lunch tomorrow.

Work has finally finished i worked from 9:00am to 6:00pm and at the end, I did finish loggin all 856 shots!!!
