I spent the past 3 days in Victorville, CA filming a short film called World of Lines which will also be a Coheed and Cambria music video for their song "World of Lines", its a double whammy.
I was the key makeup artist (only makeup artist) on set and i had my little sister assisting me.
So, from being on set i wanted to share a few things ive learned...
1) always, always, always have extra chap sticks and tons of sunblock with u on set, no matter where youre filming.
2) always have clear anti perspirant and brown paper towels with u in case you have overly active sweaters in your cast. use a sponge to put apply the deodorant to the hairline and perspiring areas, and blot w/ brown paper towels, the white ones will leave white residue on the actors.
3) anytime it looks like someone in the cast or crew needs help, always ask if they want help. dont stand there and watch.
4) always listen to the director. NO MATTER WHAT. this is their project, they know what they want.
5) always be courteous to everyone on set. everyone is there to do a job, they dont need youre attitude.
6) take care of your actors. if they need anythin at all, help them out.
7) never ever leave w/o telling any1 where youre going.
8) do not ever randomly wander aimlessly around the set. you will look crazy and probably be in someones way.
9) always have towels on hand for actors & anyone on set who needs them.
10) make sure ur cases are weather proof. u do not want melted eyeliners, lipsticks any of your cream makeup.. melted makeup is awful.. weather proof everything...
if i think of anything else ive learned ill be sure to post it..
