Same job description as for Ice Tea Productions, more or less.For almost 5 years Ice Tea functioned as the East Coast sales office of Will Vinton Studios, which was based in Portland, OR.

Got my feet wet in both production and administration. Started as a college intern and a P.A. and ended as an office manager and production manager. Drove a lot of vans, picking up props and equipment for music video shoots. On shoot days I painted the studio background wall ultimatte green in the morning, and painted it back to white at the end of the day. Ran the craft services table and saw to the needs of the talent when needed. In the office I typed up scripts, photocopied a ton of faxes (because that's what you did back then) and learned the basics of spreadsheets and payroll reports. Production assistant on music videos for Rick James, Apollonia, Leon Redbone, Jeff Healey Band, a documentary project on The Residents starring Penn & Teller, and various CTW projects starring En Vogue and Sesame Street characters.
