The World's a Stage


Sometimes I think life's all but a stage.. where everyone had a different role to play.. be it the actors/actresses, directors, producers, cameraman, scriptwriters, lighting specialist, composers or the workmans... all very different in reponsibilities but equally critical in their capacity.

Often the actors/actresses work hard, putting on a mask.. potraying the lives of others, yet some may find themselves lost in the process. When the mask comes off, they only see space in the mirror. They might ask themselves, is it worth it.. to have work so hard but paid for it with their identity.

The directors.. constantly barking at the crew, making sure each scene is script-perfect, ensuring budget is not blown and only to be scoffed at by the producers and the crew. Tough job.. but someone's gotta do it, right? The perfect 'sandwich' example.

Hmm.. producers. The one with the huge cheque book. Sitting back, hoping and praying their investments will make them more moolas ($$). Most of them have disfunctional ears and over-active mouth.

Scriptwriters, these reclusive bunch are often the unsung heros. Providing the brains behind the movie, they work tirelessly and into the wee hours of the night and are usually paid peanuts. Sad.


Cameraman, lighting specialist, composers and workmen.. these group of people are also the unsung heros.. these behind the seen workers are the hands and legs of the whole production. Often taken for granted, few realised the importance of their role but any absence is sorely felt. Like the scripwriters, they toiled endlessly behind the camera, and into the night... and also like the scripwriters.. they get peanuts.



So, does this applies to your workplace? If so, what are you....??
