So, the technical aspect of the entertainment industry is a pretty hands on thing. Not only that, but most of your skill set comes from expirence, seeing as how most shows don't have the same set up when it comes to any technical aspect...and when I say " most shows don't have the same set up" I mean "no two shows are ever set up the same".
Due to this necessity for "hands-on learning", most of my classes have Labs. For those of you who don't know, a "lab" is time, usually after class, that all are some members of the class use applying what they learned in class to a real life situation. All of my classes have a Lab portion set up so that, for example, 90 "lab hours" are offered, but only 70 must be complete for an "A"
60 for a "B"
50 for a "C"
So on...
Just to get strait to the point, if your labs are set up this way, if you don't just do all 90 hours (You should really do all 90 hours...don't be lazy), try to have your 70 lab hours be the labs with the least amount of people.
I went to an audio lab today...it was total
14 people to run 1 NL4. Wow. There was a lot of awkward hovering as one person did a job, then he would step to the side, and someone else did the next job and so on.
I'm pretty sure that's definitely not what real shows are like...they're lots more frantic
This post really only applys to people with a certen Lab structure...so sorry if this was a waste of some peoples time.
Small Labs people!
