- There were so many shot reassignments! Prod teams broke your heart by taking away from you the shot you worked on for weeks, and they didn't understand why it bothers you... They also didn't realize they're losing a crazy amount of time by asking people to pick up someone else shot. -> Shots that were comped very fast due to constant crunch time, resulting in extremely messy scripts.
- No life outside of MPC. I've seen people trying to have constant activity, once a week after work. Prod kept assigning them OT and so they were either losing their shots or sacrificing their yoga, gym or whatever.
- If you were part of the lucky ones (as I did), you've had some long cool down moments. (Several weeks with nothing to do) Followed by big and heavy crunch time. If you were not part of the lucky ones, you were just moving from the end of a show crunch time to the beginning of another show crunch time. Non stop OT.
- You literally feel you're changing company everytime you're assigned on a new show. Nobody knows you, and you have to work really hard to prove you can handle good shots. Tiring after 2 or 3 show.
