One amazing thing that happened to me today, aside from seeing Kevin Sorbo in the lot next door, was talking my way out of standing around and locking the set to go and shadow one of the editors. I realized that if you have a positive attitude, and literally say that you want to learn and observe all aspects of production, any sane individual will allow you to do so.
If you stand around all day and accept everything as they have given it to you, you will never move. You have to take initiative and find a time when you aren't particularly needed to go and meet the people in other departments. Well, I guess you don't have to, but it helps. Even though I didn't learn too much about editing because they were logging dailies, I spoke with people who took an interest in what my plans are. The one editor has a roommate who is a represented writer and has agreed to introduce us to each other.
So while I could have stayed outside echoing "rollings" and "cuts" to deaf ears. I politely requested to learn something new and met someone who could potentially help me.
