Okay so after mulling over my character's position I settled and so here is my character okay thanks hope it is okay and now this sentence is a run on and rambling and oh no.

[b]Name:[/b] Amy Ho

[b]Gender[/b] Female

[b]Age:[/b] 31

[b]Position[/b] Script Supervisor. The script supervisor has many responsibilities, chief among them being responsible for documenting every detail surrounding scenes as they are filmed. Everything, from lenses, to costumes and makeup, to placement of actors to items in the scene (such as food or things of that sort). The script supervisor also marks lines in the script to inform the director how many scenes have been covered. Prior to filming, the script supervisor helps with determining shooting order which allows other departments (costumes, hair, makeup, locations, etc) to be ready at the right time for the shooting schedule. During filming, the script supervisor remains on set and is responsible for making sure the information on the clapperboard is correct and also marks down the takes that the director considers acceptable or final. After shooting, the script supervisor's notes are useful for the editing team to ensure the proper cuts for the movie and to ensure the best possible continuity. It's a busy job, but such is the world of ensuring continuity. 

[b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Pic Base][img]http://i58.tinypic.com/27xikop.jpg[/img][/hider]

Amy is medium in height, standing at just over 5'6", though in a good pair of heels - reserved more for special occasions like weddings and formal meetings - she could fool people into thinking she's 5'7". She is in shape albeit without much in the way of muscle definition, though she still remains stringy and lanky. Not to the sickly degree, but the few greying hairs and the slight bags under her eyes speak to her lanky appearance coming as a result of stress. Or lack of sleep. Either one. Her hair, which is medium in length and light brown in color, is frequently unkempt in spite of efforts to keep it from being too choppy and messy. Lately she resorts to wearing visors or hair adornments in an effort to make it less...grizzly. Her favorite expression is the sigh and when not, well, sighing, her lips are often pursed or nervously writhing about as her eyes dart around. When it comes to wardrobe, Amy favors comfort and practicality over fashion and design. While on set she's almost always wearing a denim vest over a black shirt and jeans to complete the ensemble. And a great pair of running shoes. She'd die without them. Possibly even literally. While not holding a clipboard and pen, her fingers are curled around a cup of coffee. No sugar. No cream. 

[b]Personality:[/b] It's not fair to call Amy neurotic despite the fact that she's got a major caffeine problem which gets mistaken for anxiety - and she'll be quick to point out how incorrect the label is. It's not neurosis she suffers from, but rather she's a victim of overworking and being prone to getting stressed out. It's because she has such a meticulous eye for detail and a thirst for doing things as perfectly as possible that she often burns herself out on the simplest of tasks. It's where the coffee comes in. Though a stimulant, coffee soothes Amy and keeps her on task and focused, instead of having her head bounce around with questions that have no answer or no bearing on tasks. Despite that, Amy is always punctual and attentive - if she isn't first on set she considers herself late. However, her desire to have things go perfectly haven't made her the most popular of crew members. She holds everyone to the same standard and her constant questioning regarding schedules and such make her seem more like that one super strict and annoying teacher everyone had in school - the one people made fun of when the bell rang and the one who got upset because you forgot to dot an 'i' or two. But she's good at what she does. She'd have to be, or else the sheer number of people who roll their eyes as she demands an update on the big costume for the next week's shooting would be enough to get her black listed for being difficult to work with. 

Off set, Amy is quite a bit more relaxed, enjoying the general stress-free environment by going out into the actual environment. Her social life, while not the most active, is present. She trades in the coffee for a frothing glass of beer at the bar. Both liquids help her relax, though for different and equally irresponsible reasons. On set, Amy loves perfection and expects it in kind. Off set, she only cares about unwinding, either with people who can put up with her, or by herself. Whichever.

[b]History:[/b] Amy was born in Hong Kong and was born not Amy but 'Cuihua'. Amy was the name she took when leaving Hong Kong in her teens. It sounded better on business cards, if less exotic. Her earliest, or rather her fondest, memory is of the night view of Hong Kong's skyline. All the buildings all lit up, the tour boats glowing down on the water it was quite the spectacular view. It was less spectacular when viewed from the smallish home where she lived with her parents, but the night view was forever implanted in her head. Perhaps that is what drew her to the world of photography. 

The photography world was one Cuihua never fully got to live in, at least not as a youth. Though she enjoyed seeing the various sights that a concrete jungle like Hong Kong has, what she enjoyed even more was re-visiting them in her head the next night. Her memory was far from photographic, but for her purposes just being able to visualize the stretch of road between a skyscraper and its neighbor was good enough. 

Originally, Cuihua had intended on going to school to become an architect - seeing buildings all lit up was one thing ,seeing buildings she designed all lit up would be something all the better. That all changed when her father and mother let her watch [i]Chungking Express[/i] a few years after its release. Cuihua was stunned, despite not really understanding the plot or anything upon first viewing. She was stunned because the film had such beautiful scenery. She had known some of the places featured in the film, but they looked so new and breathtaking through the camera lens. This began a fascination with scenery and photography in film. Cuihua cut her knuckles on Hong Kong cinema, the gritty cop movies and the sweeping dramatic stories. 

It took much convincing, but Cuihua managed to convince her parents to let her try for film school despite never holding a camera other than the one in her phone. Which doesn't count. She studied at the HKAPA but didn't get her degree. Instead Cuihua figured the best way to go about things was to strike out on her own and let her passions guide her. It sounded good in theory, though after arriving overseas in the western world with only a minor understanding of the language it was seeming more and more like a mistake. Cuihua, changing her name to Amy, stuck it out, finding work in menial positions at a small production company. Her knowledge of the film world grew along with her grasp of the language and her own skills. 

Amy, despite wanting to be a director of photography, has yet to have any actual behind-the-camera experience. Instead her memory and eye for detail planted her firmly in the position she has been in for almost a decade now. She can't complain too much, she does get to work on films, even if her involvement is making sure that actors stand in just the right spot and that the person behind the camera isn't an idiot who violates the 180 degree rule without input from the crew. 

It's almost like being an architect. Except that her blueprints are a lot less clean and geometrical. 

[b]Miscellaneous:[/b] - Amy has a tendency to hum a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GobpLNL9EM]certain song[/url] when taking her notes after shooting. Or when doing her duties. It's a thing she does.

- Though now a citizen, Amy still doesn't pick up on more nuanced expressions and idioms of the language. But she can speak it well enough.

[hider=Relationships][b]Luke Clemens[/b] "By habit I don't trust actors-turned-directors. For every Clint Eastwood and Robert Redford you've got tons of Forest Whitaker's and Peter Berg's. My money's on Clemens being in the school of the latter.The problem there is that it's part of my job to ensure that doesn't happen. Young kids always think they can make it big. I'm sure he's a good kid. Hated his debut movie, not because of him but that's beside the point, but anyone who gets into the business young probably has a few wounds. A total cafe americano. Specifically the hot water. Hot water in this case being similar to hot air, not a statement of physical attractiveness."

[b]Lelia Fox:[/b] "I can't say much about her. She's young. She's got a look that directors like in their supporting ladies, so she can coast on that for a while. Sort of like Kate Winslet in her [i]Heavenly Creatures[/i] and [i]Titanic[/i] days before she got into more serious and dramatic stuff. At least I'll be able to say I knew her 'way back when'. But at the moment, she seems the type that will easily take direction without complaint because of inexperience. Makes my job easier. I could probably tell her that her marker was on the roof and she'd go looking for a way up there. She's a decaf cup of coffee: Tastes similar, but doesn't come with the stimulation you crave."

[b]Maximilian Harrison:[/b] "Out of habit I keep my distance from anyone who wears a fedora. I guess out of the many people who do wear one, he's up there in terms of 'people who wear a fedora that I can sort of stand to be around'. I don't know if it's better or worse that he does so out of adoration rather than the belief that wearing it somehow gives you a jolt of 'classiness'. He loves his job, and anyone willing to break bones for their craft is someone you want to keep around for future projects. I don't really know him on a professional level ,though. I'm a script supervisor, not a stunt coordinator. He's an Irish coffee: comes with a shot of excitement to keep the day from being dull."

[b]Harris Klein:[/b] "I'd like him more if we didn't clash all the time. I think he thinks my knowledge of film is second in comparison to his experience behind and in front of the camera. We both take this more seriously than a lot of our peers, so I think we'd probably get along if we weren't at each other's throats for similar reasons. You're an actor now, Klein, I don't tell you how to act, just WHERE to act. I think when we're done shooting I'm going to get a beer with him and talk about his directorial catalog. We'll probably argue there, too. Klein is a reason why I'm up to five cups of coffee a day on set. He's a cafe tobio. Like the drink he elevates the natural weak flavor and in doing so manages to hide the bitter aftertaste."

[b]Jake Wilson:[/b] "Now here's someone I like despite not really ever meeting him. I appreciate his detailed location notes, and on more than one occasion his suggestions on where to find a good cup of coffee on location has saved me from having to go to a chain location. One day I might even listen to his podcast. Whenever I see his name on the crew sheet I at least know that one part of shooting will go well. I'd have more to say if he were on set more. He's a cup of black coffee. Reliable."

[b]Phoebe J. Collins:[/b] "She's a good kid, though sometimes I feel like I intimidate her. To her credit, she does great prop work and has yet to miss a deadline. I admire that about her, really. Many people will let the pressure of deadlines and an overbearing Chinese script supervisor get to them. But not Phoebe. I think it's because she's a Brit. With people like Phoebe, I can rest a bit easier in knowing that, in spite of poor direction, certain aspects of a film will be quality. It's the little things like that. She's a cortado: her work ethic and end results are like the added warm milk, both stave off acidity. Only in this case, the acidity is the stress of production."

[b]Leo P N B Xavier:[/b] "Guy makes costumes. Guy has three middle names. One of those things matters in the grand scheme of things. So long as he gets the costumes made at a reasonable time, we'll get along fine. I tend to have it out for costume designers. They can get nominated for awards, but I can't. I'm sure I won't let that bias influence my attitude toward him. He's a coffee milk because I have no strong feelings towards the drink but in a pinch it'll suffice. The same goes for Leo."

[b]The Russian Guy:[/b] "Here's living proof that no matter what you do, [i]It's A Wonderful Life[/i] will still be a crap movie. He did his best, sure, but modern versions of crap still counts as crap. He can take solace in knowing that the [i]Animal Farm[/i] film he did was only the second worst version, and that he was at least better than Patrick Stewart. No idea how he got an Oscar for that. Maybe it was a pity thing. Oh, wait, he's a producer, isn't he? Shit. I like him better as a character actor. Producers are fine so long as their checks clear. He should learn to smile more often. I hate asking people if everything is alright and they turn out to be chipper dandies. He's a half-caf. In that I like half of him half of the time."

[b]Max Goldstein:[/b] "Just because you're good with money doesn't mean you're a good producer. The guy is a businessman and he's turned entertainment into a business. Again, I'll echo my sentiments that producers are fine so long as their checks clear. Max is the kind of producer you appreciate because he puts up the money and then pisses off somewhere. Sure, he ends up getting a cut, but at least you don't have to worry about money influencing input. He's a latte macchiato, more foam than anything else. Foam is a synonym for money. In case that wasn't clear."

[b]Addison Matthews:[/b] "I like her. Out of every production assistant, she's the only one that's never once messed up a coffee order. I doubt she wants to be a production assistant, no one really does, but if she's trying to get scouted for a film gig or something, well good luck to her. Don't tell her this, but I hate her hair. No one should have perfect hair on a film shoot. This is in no way me voicing my jealousy for my constantly frazzled hair. Did I mention that she's really good at getting my coffee? She's a solid Cuban espresso: she's got the sweet blended well with the caffeine of an espresso."

[b]Ella Lindgren:[/b] "I bet she doesn't know who Christopher Doyle or Janusz Kaminski are. Which means I probably know more about her position than she does. And I don't mind letting her know this. She's exactly the kind of DP I hate working with. One who is never satisfied or confident in their work. There are two crucial rules that I apply to any DP. The first is to be liked. The second is to not take everything personally. Ella makes it really hard to be liked. You're a damn director of photography, Ella, it's your job to tell me your lenses and your shot compositions. Definitely one of the more difficult DPs I've known. And yet, she's doing what I want to do, so what the hell is wrong with that picture. Ella is a cup of instant coffee. I don't like instant coffee."

[b]Nicholas Lyons:[/b] "I like his father's movies more than I like his movies. I think he thinks he is a lot funnier than he actually is. I guess to his credit he hasn't let Hollywood turn him into an asshole, but neither has Keanu Reeves. Though Nicholas Lyons is already a better actor than Keanu. So he has that going for him. He's an Ipoh White Coffee, because like the drink he is not as smooth as you want it to be."[/hider]
