If you're planning on working your way up into the film industry, PAing is a rite of passage. Production Assistants (P.A.'s) are often overlooked, but are a crucial part of any production. They work as a team, have their eyes on everything, facilitate communication across the entire set, and keep everything running smoothly. On the set of RocketJump: The Show, we gave production assistant Colin West McDonald a go pro and followed him as he went about his day on the short Tip Jar. • Learn about set protocol and lingo, what exactly is said on all the walkies, lock ups, what a last man is, and general production assistant duties... as well as what to do to guarantee you'll get hired again! • Questions about PAing?
