Something I've been thinking about for some time has been about getting a chance to either intern with a production (film or television, although preferably television), or at least have a chance to shadow for several days simply to observe each of the different roles at work and get that wonderful "behind-the-scenes" look at the whole process and ask questions.
I've already been a part of production for two plays, however I know there's still quite a few differences between a play and a film or television production, hence why I want to get a look. It's one thing to read about it all, it's quite another to observe or participate.
Has anyone ever done something like that before, or is it just a crazy concept that likely won't ever work out? I'm assuming more than likely regardless that it would require being more or less local to LA or NY though, correct?

Internships are usually done through an school as part of completing coursework. You may run into some legal issues with trying to get a behind the scenes look at a shoot that isn't employing you, but it's worth a shot..
