:: Jared Larson
- Crew Interview Part 1::
I sat down with Jared a month
and a half after shooting wrapped to conduct this interview.
Initially he was hesitant, but after a few candy bars and a salad,
he was ready to go...
Q: How are you doing, Jared?
A: i'm pretty good, i've been staying with my friend peter lewis
in
pittsburgh for about a week, in like 3 days i'll move into the third
floor of a
house and i'll be staying there for a while. Life is interesting
and i enjoy it.
Q: That's good. How is your family?
they are good, my sister is starting her first year of college at
SUNY
New Paltz, and she was all nervous but she loves and it and i'm
happy
because i know she already has a bunch of friends and they all hang
and out and
walk around town etc, my mom is doing okay i think, she's dealing
with
there being no kids in her house right now, but she's doing good,
she's been
taking training courses so she can volunteer at a woman's shelter
called
vera house. i am glad she is doing something she thinks is for a
good
cause. My dad is doing good, always traveling when he gets the chance
and i think he's planning on moving to eugene, Oregon sometime soon,
not sure
really but he's good.
Q: Tell me a little bit about what
you did on the shoot this July.
Your position, your work...maybe a story or two from the set.
I was listed as an electric, so basically it was usually lights
and stuff,
but I think all the grips and electrics were helping on most of
the same
stuff, we'd find out from richie or kerry what we needed to get
out of
the grip truck (lights, dolly, track, stands, sandbags, c-stands,
silks,
tarps), and i'd occasionally help out moving the camera.
But mostly i would ask either
kerry or richie what we needed for each shot,
and when lights weren't being used
to tried to see if anybody else
needed something.one time i stopped a moving c-car from falling
too far,
and dylan described me stopping it
as literally ridiculous when he saw me
fly several feet trying to stop the
momentum of the car.
The other time i had a tennis
ball in one of my pockets and it was used
as an eyeline for the young mr.turnipseed,
young curtis, and young
barnard to simulate a falling spank
williams.
Q:
Give us a bit of your background, inspirations and favorites.
um, i like music a lot, i made videos with my friends when i was
in 3rd
grade or so, and then it started up in 8th grade. then i took photography
in 12th grade and that was really enjoyable and fun too once i got
the
hang of it.
Q:
What were your initial feelings about joining this crew?
I wasn't really sure, at first i was kind of scared because i didn't
even know what kind of people there would be and what it would
be like to work like crazy for a
month, but before i left i suddenly got
excited about actually doing something and just meeting a whole
bunch of
people at once and getting to know them. and then i did meet them
and it
turns out that they were all awesome people, and working like crazy
for
a month became not working for a month but hanging out together
a lot all
day and having fun and doing something together. i am glad i met
everybody
and i had a lot of fun.
