"You know that everything depends on the script. My cousin said there is a great script, and we will have enough budget to work without compromising the result." Arthur replied to his girlfriend with a reassuring voice as he squeezed lightly her hand.

"That's what concerns me. You said she doesn't work in the Entertainment Industry. How can she judge if the script is good or not?" Kanna asked in her usual serious voice, but the worry in her eyes could not be hidden.

It could not be helped, all ten of them used all the money they got in this venture.

Even though the train ticket was cheaper compared to a plane ticket, all of them did not earn much in their jobs.

They only earned enough to survive.

pᴀɴdᴀ Sometimes they would work on some projects related to films or videos, but all of them had side jobs to pay their bills.

Therefore, they could not save much money.

And on this trip, all of them used all their saved up money to pay for the expenses.

They were betting everything on this project.

All of them looked at Arthur with worried eyes when they heard Kanna's question.

They wanted to hear his answer.

"Haha, you don't know my cousin. But she is a genius woman. She graduated from Rainbow Sakura University. So, you must imagine the level of discernment she has." Arthur replied with a chuckle to calm their worries.

"Wow! She must be so intelligent!" One of them exclaimed.

"No doubts! After all, Rainbow Sakura is the most prestigious college in the world." Another one complemented.

Kanna relaxed a little when she heard, it was not that she doubted her boyfriend.

She was just a cautious person.

"Did you already hear the song, Art?" A man who looked to be in his thirties asked.

Bobby George was 34 years old that year, and he was the oldest person on the crew.

He was the Gaffer.

This position was the head of lighting and power and works within the grip and electric department.

Gaffers answer directly to the Cinematographer and collaborate with the electricians to ensure the desired look of the film comes to fruition.

Arthur and Bobby met the same way that Arthur met the others.

But as soon as they met, they became friends.

"Yeah, if this project is going to be successful, the song needs to be good enough." A woman with a mature look added with a thoughtful face.

Kaitlyn Fraser was 31 years old, and she was the Electrician and Key Grip of the crew.

A Grip is the main position within the grip and electric department. The head of the Grips is called the 'Key Grip'. Any given production is likely to use multiple grips.

The larger the production, the more Grips needed.

Because this was a small production, Kaytlin would be the only Grip in it

The primary responsibilities of a Grip include moving and setting up equipment, constructing rigs, and performing any handiwork necessary to enable the other departments to do their jobs.

On another hand, the electrician works in the grip and electric department and answers directly to the Gaffer. The electrician's job can be in Pre-Production when wiring up sets and conducting tech rehearsals in advance of the shoot.

During the production phase, an electrician will rig lights, run cables, and ensure a steady flow of power for lights and equipment either on set or on location.

Kaitlyn and Bobby were married, and the two of them had the dream to work in a big production.

They met each other while they worked on the production of a short movie, she was in charge of setting up the electric parts and he was in working with her coordinating everything.

They fell in love and married a year later.

Arthur knew that this couple had high skills, so he did not hesitate to invite them to jump on this project.

"My cousin could not show me because the song was still in the process of registering the copyrights. But she told me that we will be able to hear tomorrow." Arthur replied as he recalled the conversation with Ayia.

"But by the way she talked about it. The song seems to be great." Arthur added.

"But who is this Moonlight? I never heard of him." A woman with short black hair asked.

Arabella Kaur was 24 years old, and she was the Production Assistant of the crew.

This position has a wide range of constantly changing duties. Each day on set, an Associate Producer may find themself tasked with a completely different set of responsibilities.

Put simply, a PA helps out wherever they are needed and wherever they can be most useful, whether that be in assisting the wardrobe department or in helping to arrange transportation, they can find themselves doing it all.

It is like a technical, jack-of-trades position.

Arabella had one of the busiest jobs in the production, she was always running to help everyone.

That's why everyone liked the short-haired girl.

"Me neither, I searched his name on Track, and there were no results." A man who liked to be no more than 26 years old added with a thoughtful face.

Obara Etsuya had black hair and black eyes.

He wore glasses and had a nerdy look.

He was the On-Set Editor of the crew.

An On-set Editor edits a rough cut of the scene in progress as shots are captured. An On-set Editor can help the Director decide whether or not the captured footage will work in conjunction with the other shots and if additional takes are necessary.

He worked closely with Arthur in the production, and that's how Arthur got to know the talented Obara.

"My cousin said that he was a new artist and this is his first album. But it seems he is good because he will be able to release his album as his first work." Arthur replied.

"Wow! And he already can launch his album? I'm looking forward to hearing his music then." Kate exclaimed.

"But what I don't understand is where your cousin entered this story. Didn't you say that she graduated from Rainbow Sakura? What she is doing working in this kind of entertainment area?" Another woman asked.

Her name was Niwa Aoki, she had pink hair and green eyes.

She was 24 years old and she was the Art Director of the crew.

An art director works alongside the production designer to oversee the construction and decoration of the film's sets and locations.

In a low-budget production, like the ones that everyone there worked with, the duties of the art director and production designer may be combined into a single position.

That's why Niwa and Kanna were best friends.

The two of them met when they were kids, and they have been friends ever since.

Niwa had amazing talent as Art Director, Arthur didn't know why she wasn't hired by a studio yet.

But he suspected it was because of her sharp tong.

"Hmm, it seems that Moonlight managed to hire her as his manager. But even if you ask me, I have no idea how he was able to do that." Arthur stated with a wry smile when he saw they were prepared to ask that.

"Wow! I never heard of a graduate from Rainbow Sakura working as Musical Manager!" A man with a bald head exclaimed.

Nomura Masami was 33 years old, and he was the Director of Photography of the crew.

A director of photography, aka DP, aka cinematographer, oversees both the camera team and the grip and electric department and is responsible for everything having to do with the camera and lighting techniques.

The best cinematographers use their technical expertise to light and shoot scenes following the Director's vision.

Nomura was the last member of the crew, and he had one of the most important jobs.

Arthur also met him in one failed project.

But he was able to notice Nobura's talent.

The whole crew started to excitedly discuss the project as the train took them to their destination.
