Hi all,
So I'm not one to boast, I hate that sort of thing, But I thought I would tell all about my experience with 'Batman Begins'. I actually worked on the film. It was my 2nd ever real gig, and I was only a wee teen. I did it during my 'working period' before hitting film school a few years later, and then starting to work full-time in the industry.
I was hired as a 'day runner' someone that isn't on salary, but rather paid per-day (although the money comes quite a few weeks later! lol). It meant because I wasn't on salary, I wasn't on contract. But I ended up working on the show for a few months. I was basically the low-paid whipping boy, that ran a lot of errands and got worked pretty hard. But I loved it. It was a great experiance, one that really gave me a lot of confidence and fond memories. I got to see a lot of the stuff that was being made, which for 19yo kid was great!
I got to meet all the cast and even Nolan himself. The man was always a true gent. Even on the days we had a lot of 'attention' from people flying over from the states. It was a fun few months, and even got to return to attend the UK wrap party - which was great.
So enough bragging by mate - I hate it! lol. I heard from another member you might have been interested to hear this story. Just don't get the wrong idea that Im just boasting! lol.
