Erm it’s been about one month plus since I had the transition from CG (Caption Generator) to a DA (Director Assistant) position. It isn’t like it’s a promotion is rather like a transition. Yeap! I agree.
Being a DA is isn’t anything wonderful because you’ll have extra responsibility, extra burden, but what I like about it is that I have more time for myself and I have the will to be more verbal. Unlike being a CG I only have the space to make myself being heard only when I am inside the PCR (Panel Control Room). As a DA I had more importance, darn human are always seeking for importance. Am I right or is it just myself (tepuk dada tanya selera right!)
In CG I have the chance to laze around a lot but I chose not to, don’t know why but it’s just not me to do things without all my effort in it. When I was in CG I had never feel calm doing my work I always feel so tense up doing it. This was the same when I was on my first month as DA. Though I still feel the tense but it wasn’t like the one when I was doing CG-ing, I guess being a CG really test my patience and being a DA test my patience with real human attitude. Being a DA I have to do PR job like dealing with editors, directors, CG, switcher, audio and even the people in the MCR (Master Control Room).
Being a CG you will have to be a very precise person because the work is very tedious. You’ll have to check all the spelling mistakes and whether all the captions are in their right position. Else it will look funny on screen. Mind you the proof read is isn’t in the job scope of a CG. It’s the work of an EDITOR mind you!!! The worst things are if there is any spelling mistakes the person to blame is the CG and not the freaking EDITOR. Mind you an EDITOR supposed to be the gatekeeper for all their stories right.
Dealing with human is the worst I would say, but I like dealing with human more than dealing only with the machines. Am glad I chose this path and I will try to do my best in DA for this near future. If there are anymore advances I would like to venture into the World of a SWITHCER. Yeap would like to do switching after this :)
After that I would see how I want to advance myself into. Is there any chance of me being a DIRECTOR? Well we will see about this :) till then I hope all your dreams will come true… Remember you are who you lead your life to be…
For me I chose to be HAPPY & TO LEAD LIFE TO THE FULLEST…
Till I find the one… Take care…
