Jase gets a JOB
 

Yes thats right folks....the coffee making student bum finally lands a real job!!!!

I have to quit (defer) from Sydney Uni (like, ummm, so bummed! Pffft...) But on the upside, I get to travel the world, as the sound recordist for documentaries and TV programs.

How cool is that? Way cool....

It is not yet 100% official, I go in soon to sign contracts etc. Will reveal more about the company soon (it's a biggie!) and also more details of the job.

Hint: anyone like busting myths?

Nice going Jase. Coming to Finland?

Who you working for? You going to be doing any editing, too? What gear you gonna be using and most importantly, what we all wanna know is WHAT'S THE PAY?

That is indeed way cool - congrats fella

are you working for steve erwing? if so,tell him his a dirty basterd and that his show is fuc*ing crazy.

Cheers Matsa!

Finland? There's always the possibility...

They do alot of travel style shows and Discovery Channel type stuff too, so it can take me all around the world. At the start though (whilst in training) I will only be doing locations within Australia. Maybe a few months before they send me on bigger jobs O/S

There will definately be editing work when I am not on location...

Pay? Well, I will be starting out as a junior, so it is a junior salary at first (Read: Shit)

I will reveal the company once everything is set in stone, hopefully only a couple days away.

Cheers Drammy!

I would Love to work with Steve Irwin, but I dont think he is with the same production company

Great news Jase and if you get to work with Steve Irwin, You gotta get me his autograph!

He's bloody cool indeed. He's even more passionate about animals than we care about synths.

That's great news for sure Jase!

If you ever head over to Japan let me know and I'll happily shirk the family to meet up. :D

Nice one mate.

Sounds like the shit pay will be well worth it for the opportunities. I'd take shit pay and a great job over great pay and a shit job anyday of the week.

Depends what you use the shit job with good pay for ;)


Congrats jase :)

Congrats Jase :D

Nice! You ever come out to NYC let me know. i will be moving there in 3 months!!

OMG - hes getting closer... <shudders>







:)

Congrats dude!!!

Great to have a new job to look forward to eh?

I have also got a new job, in the big smoke. Working for the biggest chain of hi-fi specialist stores in teh country. Much better pay and I'll finally be able to set up my studio proper.

MANY pics to follow in the coming months lads :lol:

MWWWUUHHHAAAAAA!!!! I'm coming after that setup of yours mate!!!!!!!!! :wink: :twisted:

You're not going to become a jafa are you?

Cheers lads!!!!

:)

Hey Jase, congrats on the job, i hope it'll make way for a continued audio-related carrier for you!

I do envy you :wink: [/i]

I'll never become a JAFA :wink:

But I will be living in AK :(

Thanks mate!

Who knows where it could lead... I think I'd like to eventually work on films, perhaps mixing???

very cool Jase, congrats!! :)

Awesome man. Very happy for you. i am in a similar situation myself, but I will save that for another thread. Congrats! SO does this mean we wont be seeing as much of you around here? :?:

You cant get rid of me that easily mate!!!! ;)

Job update:

I start in 2 weeks from now, and after only 2 weeks training, I am off overseas on my first production shoot.

Still dont know where I am going though, I guess they'll let me know when I start in a couple weeks.

The company is called Beyond Productions and they are responsible for shows like "Myth Busters".

I have to figure out how to keep myself entertained during downtime. I was thinking a laptop/MIDI controller etc, but that'll mean im looking at upwards of $5k. Would be better spent on my studio at home. Maybe a Sony PSP??? Anyone got any ideas?

:o <------- My face cos Im excited!

Have fun mate! Fucking lucky bastard.... :D

prick!!!!! :roll:

J/K man. Keep us updated!!!
