PA Survival Kit

Tomorrow, I start a 5 day shoot as a production assistant for a local short film called "Leah Not Leia". While my main interests and career lie in post-production, I do enjoy the camaraderie of a set, and I've been wanting to get involved in the indie film in the Indianapolis area for a while. I'll blog more about the experience after principal photography is finished on Monday.

I've put together a survival kit for myself and another production assistant, Katie. We decided since we're going to be going straight from working all day to 7+ hour shoots in the evening, or 13 hours a day this weekend, we may as well be prepared. Here's what we have:

• 5 t-shirts (non-logo, just in case we have to fill in some empty spots in the scene)
• Clean socks
• Backup bottled water
• Vitamins
• Small snacks
• Medications (tylenol, stomach stuff, throat stuff)
• Cough drops
• Baby powder
• Small sewing kit
• Band aids and liquid bandage
• Lotion
• Wet wipes
• Smelly spray
• Deoderant 
• Umbrella
• Sunscreen
• Playing cards
• Pens

I think that's all I have. I'll let you know how it goes.
