I got my first job after graduate. Actually it cant be considered as a real job, it's more like a case that I'm involved. Just that this case is kinda special compared with the others, cos indirectly, I'm working for the Taiwan's government. Cool right? Yea at the beginning I thought it was just a shoot-around-thing, but it turns out to be sooooo cool, tired of course, and public relation matters to deal, too.

Here the story goes...

I was promoted along with Pico, a pretty funny girl, by Dante to a so called director to handle a case. I didnt know a thing till I started working the first time we all met. Yo dude, you're in the pro..you're in the biz...

I was allotted to be an assistant cameraman. Sounds cool right? Hell NO! You will know when you start carrying the camera bag which is weight around 10kgs. And you gonna move fast and talk carefully, and never walk in front of the camera. As a freshman in this field, there seems to be many things to learn. But the interesting part is that, I have travelled almost every single special place in Taipei, and tried many many kinds of food and delicacies. The most exciting part is that I enjoyed all these for free~! It's like the company paid me to enjoy every meal and trip, and work of course. Damn~I'm living a fleshpots life. Haha...But still, you know, I have to work hard to get things done too.

Soon, I became a production assistant, then a production manager, but still sometimes an assistant cameraman. When I started playing this role, I realized something weird but interesting for me. To do my job, I have to call all kind of departments, agencies, people to get things done. I got hundreds of phone numbers on my list, which sometimes confused me. Everytime when I picked up the phone, I would say: "I'm calling on behalf of the Taipei City Government....." and usually things will go easy after that. Things that need a few weeks' time could be settled in days when you mentioned about "the government". That is really a magic word for things I've been doing, and you can see the different side of how things could be when it linked with the government. So cool and so interesting. They treated you in different way, they talked to you in different tone, even you can get access to something you never imagine before."Great power comes with great responsibility" that's what running into my mind. Yea...so everytime when I shaked a hand, it's like: that's a deal and you have my word.

I'm in charged of the "Arts of Taipei" shooting. So there are a lot of chances for me to meet and feel different kinds of art - drama, percussion, Jazz party, orchestra, stage play, puppet show....you name it. It's really amazing to watch all kind of performance with great audio and visual impact, and for FREE! I just got in the backstage, talked to the person in charge, then I can start enjoying the performance, mostly rehearsal, on the audience sit, alone for most of the time. Throughout these I got plenty of new ideas and inspirations in my mind. Maybe someday I can use it for my future work, practically or theoretically.

These all come to an end when I have to handle a new case - the 2nd English Summer Camp. That will be another story then.
