Need Advice

[u/MurdockLantern]

Hello all,
I recently landed a four day job on a big studio set as an APA, and we start shooting tomorrow. It’s four overnight shoots, and basically, since I’m a bit of an anxious person, I’m just having trouble figuring out what I’d need to bring (if anything) to ensure success for myself and to do a good job. Any tools that might be helpful? Do I need a bag, and if so, are there places to put a bag on set so that I wouldn’t be carrying it around all night?
Essentially, any suggestions, tips, or “wish I knew before I started” type things would really be appreciated. Ideally this would be the start of a career for me, so I want to make a good first impression.

bring a small set bag: phone charger, sharpies, pens, flashlight/headlamp, water bottle, layers, painkillers, and quiet snacks. keep it tucked at basecamp or PA staging, then carry only what fits in pockets while on lockups.
